Beta is a pretty big deal with stocks. Just curious if there is any way to do coarse or fine selection on beta ?

Unfortunately, there is not a quick way to do coarse or fine selection on beta. That being said, beta is calculated using the expected return of the stock, expected return of the market and the risk-free rate. During universe selection, the data needed can be retrieved and beta can be calculated for the necessary analysis. One idea would be to make a rolling window of SPY as a benchmark and then calculate the beta of each asset.

Thanks. This is basically what I ended up doing. Had to use Accord .NET etc to do the calculations and ensure that SPY was always selected in my universe, which was another trick.
