Abstract

In modern portfolio theory investment risk plays a crucial role. It is the subject of numerous studies and publications, in particular in relation to the management of investment portfolios. Commonly used measure of investment management in equities is a beta parameter, which is used to estimate individual stock risk and portfolio risk. In particular, numerous studies are subject to the beta parameter properties such as stability in the context of the stock market cycle phases, intervaling effect, length estimation sample etc.

The main objective of this paper is to investigate the intervaling effect on beta parameter. The empirical analysis is carried out for the 38 largest companies of the Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE) on a sample from the years 2005 to 2012 on the basis of daily, weekly and monthly rates of return. Statistical verification of the hypothesis of the importance of the frequency measuring return of shares will be based on the single-index Sharpe’s model.
