Introduction
Beta is a critical component in business valuations, and various ways exist to calculate it. Understanding that each valuation has unique requirements, we've introduced enhanced flexibility in beta calculations to meet your needs better.
You can now adjust key parameters to customize your beta calculation, including:
Index
Time Horizon (1 year, 3 years, or 5 year)
Interval/Frequency (Daily, Weekly, Monthly)
This added flexibility allows you to create more accurate and tailored beta calculations that reflect the specific market conditions and the risk profile of the valued company. With the ability to modify these key parameters, you can achieve more relevant beta inputs for your valuations.
