Simple scenario: Taking into account beta of index is set at 1.0;

Lets say market increases by 5%

Beta of 1.5 would indicate that the particular portfolio would increase by 7.5%

as for beta of -1.5, the portfolio would decrease by 7.5%

Beta is a measure of sensitivity of market base on the reference index. Negative beta would mean that the portfolio is inversely proportional to market performance.

How can you measure volatility using beta?

You can use Beta to measure market volatility because of beta is the elasticity of a stock change as a result of a change in the market. That is, Beta of a sotck is found by comparing the senstivity of a stock's return to the fluctuations in the market.Beta is found by dividing the product of the covwariances of the stock and market retun by the variance of the market.The bench marks of betas are as followed:a risk free investment such as a Tbill (that is guaranteed a return) will have a beta of 0.A portfolio with risk equivalent to the market has a beta of 1.Given those two bench mark, you can gauge at the volatility of the stock/investment by comparing its beta with those two extremes.
