Beta Management Company is a 3-year old investment firm with $25 million in assets under management for high-net-worth individuals. It aims to enhance returns while reducing risk through market timing by investing in index funds when markets rise and exiting when they fall. While its investment philosophy focuses on low-cost index funds, it is losing investors and considers adding two individual stocks, California R.E.I.T. and Brown Group, to the portfolio to boost equity exposure. An analysis of risk and returns using standard deviation and the Capital Asset Pricing Model recommends investing more in California R.E.I.T. due to its lower risk profile.
