High-beta stocks

Explanation:

High beta stocks are the type of stocks which are highly correlated with the top stock market performers such as, S&P 500. As, these stock are correlated, they are mostly affected by the risk aversion because they are correlated at a high magnitude level so a small change can affect the required returns and usually underperform in bearish market.
