- Which of the following statements is INCORRECT? A stock's beta is calculated as the covariance between the stock's price and the market portfolio return, divided by the variance of the market portfolio return. If we assume that the market portfolio (or the S&P 500) is efficient, then changes in the value of the market portfolio represent systematic shocks to the economy. The risk premium investors can earn by holding the market portfolio is the difference between the market portfolio's expected return and the risk-free interest rate. A stock’s standard deviation is a measure of the total risk.arrow_forwardIn historical data, we see that investments with the highest average annual returns also tend to have the highest standard deviations of annual returns.
