Zusammenfassung: 
High-risk stocks tend to provide lower returns than low-risk stocks on a risk-adjusted basis. These results (referred to as the low-beta anomaly) run counter to theoretical expectations. This paper examines the beta anomaly in one of the largest emerging markets in Africa, the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE). It employs both time-series and cross-sectional econometric techniques to analyze the risk-return relationship implied by the CAPM, using data that span over 5 years and 220 companies. To check for robustness, the analysis period was extended to 10 years, and we also applied the Fama-French three-factor model. The findings suggest the existence of the beta anomaly and a negatively sloped SML, indicating that beta is not the only determinant of risk in the South African stock market. We also found positive beta-idiosyncratic volatility (IVOL) correlations. However, after controlling for IVOL and the adverse effects of COVID-19 for an extended study period, the beta anomaly disappeared.
