Dear Experts,
Can any one tell me the difference between systematic risk and Beta security?

Beta itself is not systematic risk. It measures the sensitivity of a stock with reference to market. With the help of beta you can find the systematic risk. Risk is represented in the some units whereas beta is absolute.

Hi Santosh,

Suraj, Beta measures the systematic risk (risk of the security in relation to the market)

The measure (beta) cannot be the risk itself.

Agreed that beta measures only the systematic risk. The risk of the asset in relation to the whole market.
Standard deviation can be used as a stand alone risk measure of the asset.
