Option-implied betas are a promising alternative to historical beta estimators, because they are inherently forward …-looking and can incorporate new information immediately and fully. Recently, different implied beta estimators have been developed … first systematic comparison between six different implied beta estimators, which provides some guidance for applications and …

We reconsider the question of whether beta-centric hedge fund activity is predictive of superior performance. We … construct a measure of overall beta activity of fund managers, Beta Activity, and find evidence that top beta active managers … deliver superior long term out-of-sample performance compared to top alpha active managers. Beta Activity successfully …

The low (high) abnormal returns of stocks with high (low) beta - the beta anomaly - is one of the most persistent … important driver of the beta anomaly. The beta anomaly is no longer detected when beta-sorted portfolios are neutralized to … beta anomaly is concentrated in stocks with low levels of institutional ownership and it exists only when the price impact …
