Describe in 1 word the type of risk measured by beta, R^2, correlation, and tracking error

topic--one of my friends asked me this...the desk hes working on this summer told him to think about the answer. what do you guys think? he was told to describe the type of risk measured in one or two words. i would think that correlation is directional risk, but other than that im blanking

 

nonsystemic risk

People tend to think life is a race with other people. They don't realize that every moment they spend sprinting towards the finish line is a moment they lose permanently, and a moment closer to their death.
 

rickyross, im pretty sure you have systemic and systematic risk confused...but in any case, i would guess systematic risk, seeing as all of those terms involve some sort of relation to a benchmark index/the broader market.

 

When I see those words and I have to combine it in one word, I would say 'sensitiveness' or a better word would be 'volatility' (risk).

If you have to relate it to systematic/unsystematic risk, I would say systematic since beta measures how sensitive a security/portfolio is to the changes in the market portfolio, which is something also measured by, for example, correlation, but instead it shows how two securities/portfolios are related towards each other when changes in the market portfolio arises.
