β系数不是 组合收益与市场收益的协方差/市场收益的方差 吗? 买卖期货影响的是总的收益并不是欲保值资产 ...
if you are talking about a fixed security like Apple stock's beta, yes it won't change. But we are talking about portfolio. If your portfolio changes, the beta of the portfolio changes. As you said it is total return on the portfolio level not individual security level.
Give you a simple example,
you have a portfolio with stock A and stock B, you have a beta1 on your portfolio. Then you add a stock C into your portfolio. Now your portfolio beta is beta2. In this case, the beta of A, B and C does not change. But the beta of your portfolio changes from beta1 to beta2.
