The
Betting Against Beta Stocks strategy longs the lowest beta decile of a stock universe and shorts the highest beta decile. Rebalancing occurs on the first trading day of each month.
The approach aims to exploit the anomaly that low-beta stocks tend to outperform on a risk-adjusted basis. It assumes access to a benchmark security for beta calculations.
