100 stocks · Updated May 8, 2026

Low beta stocks have historically moved less than the market, with betas below 0.7 indicating that when the S&P 500 falls 10%, these stocks tend to fall less than 7%.

Conservative investors and retirees often overweight low beta stocks to reduce portfolio volatility while maintaining equity market participation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do low beta stocks underperform in bull markets?

Typically yes — low beta stocks lag behind in strong bull markets because they don't amplify upside. However, research shows that low beta stocks often deliver superior risk-adjusted returns over full market cycles, outperforming on a Sharpe ratio basis.

What sectors are naturally low beta?

Utilities, consumer staples (food, beverages, household products), healthcare, and real estate investment trusts (REITs) tend to have low betas due to stable earnings, high dividend yields, and inelastic demand for their products and services.

Is low beta the same as a safe stock?

Low beta reduces market risk (correlation to broad market declines) but doesn't eliminate company-specific risk. A utility with high regulatory risk or a consumer staples company facing private label competition can decline sharply despite low market correlation.

How does the low volatility anomaly work?

Academic research (Black, Jensen, Scholes; Ang et al.) documents that low volatility/low beta stocks have historically generated higher risk-adjusted returns than high beta stocks — the opposite of what CAPM predicts. This anomaly may persist due to leverage constraints and behavioral factors.
