| Shaan23 | In the text a question states. Uses of Market indices do NOT include serving as: Answer - measure of systematic risk. Tricky - So its not a measure of systematic risk but is used to determine systematic risk. Solution goes on as Security markets indices are used as a proxy for measuring systematic risk but is NOT a measure of systematic risk |
| birdperson | @shaan23 -- to get your beta you run a regression with an index and a security & beta is measure of systematic risk |
I used your notes and passed ... highly recommended!
