Vanguard Australian Shares unit price volatility

Over the last 12 months, the Vanguard Australian Shares's units have ranged in value from as little as $82.0991 up to $98.5. A popular way to gauge an ETF's volatility is its "beta".

VAS.AU volatility(beta: 1.01)Avg. volatility(beta: 1.00)LowHigh

Beta is a measure of volatility in relation to the market. The market (AU average) beta is 1, while Vanguard Australian Shares's is 1.01. This would suggest that the Vanguard Australian Shares is a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
