Abstract

En este artículo se muestra que es un error enorme utilizar las betas calculadas con datos históricos para calcular la rentabilidad exigida a las acciones o para medir la gestión de una cartera de valores. Por 7 razones: porque cambian mucho de un día para otro; porque dependen de qué índice bursátil se tome como referencia. porque dependen mucho de qué periodo histórico (5 años, 3 años,…) y de qué rentabilidades (mensuales, anuales,…) se utilicen para su cálculo; porque con mucha frecuencia no sabemos si la beta de una empresa es superior o inferior a la beta de otra empresa; porque tienen muy poca relación con la rentabilidad posterior de las acciones; y porque la correlación (y la R2) de las regresiones que se utilizan para su cálculo son muy pequeñas. Debido a estas 7 razones podemos afirmar que o bien la beta calculada con datos históricos no es una buena aproximación al riesgo de la empresa, o bien el CAPM no funciona (hay más factores que afectan a su rentabilidad exigida, además de la covarianza de la rentabilidad de una empresa con la rentabilidad del mercado, la tasa sin riesgo y la prima de riesgo del mercado), o bien, ambas cosas a la vez.
