Proxy Beta is used when the firm has no market listing and thus no Beta of its own. In that case we take the help of comparable listed firms and make necessary adjustments as required relative to the financial gearing levels.It is better to take average of two or more the two companies for calculating Proxy Beta.

> PROXY BETA --A broad representation of the overall market. A market proxy is chosen and used to simplify studies that require a market variable, statistic or comparison. The market proxy, once selected, is then used in performance evaluations and studies, or to test a hypothesis. --Proxy Beta is used when the firm has no market listing and thus no Beta of its own. It is taken from a comparable listed firm, and adjusted as necessary for relative financial gearing levels, Hence Proxy Discount Rate. -- every proxy for the market would need to be unique, according to what is being traded or measured. For example, the S&P 500 could be used as a market proxy when evaluating the excess returns of a fund manager only using stock from the S&P 500. A different proxy would be needed, however, to assess a manager trading in futures or using fixed-income arbitrage.
