βeta Award

About the Award

The βeta Award is an honorary recognition of outstanding achievements in the field of financial management. The 37-centimeter statuette was designed and made in the studio of prominent sculptor Jakub Lewinsky. It is a dynamic spatial form, in which the graphic symbol of the second letter of the Greek alphabet with the artistic shape of a beautiful female silhouette have been intertwined. Cast in bronze, on a base of black granite, it symbolizes some of the most precious values of civilization: dynamism, development, expansion and beauty.

Why are βeta coefficients important?

Why do economists pay so much attention to them? The beta coefficient is a measure of the relationship between changes in the price of a given stock and changes in the relevant stock market index. It makes it possible to measure the systematic risk taken by an investor buying that stock and gives an idea of how much the price movements of that stock will converge with the market. This is important because while investors can balance specific risks associated with individual stocks by running a diversified portfolio, they are still exposed to systematic risks associated with the overall market that can no longer be offset by diversification. The higher the beta of a given stock, the greater the risk associated with it. Measuring risk is only one way to use beta. Indirectly, the ratio is an indispensable measure during the process of valuing businesses, selecting investment projects and measuring economic added value.
