The negative sign in beta represents the inverse relationship between the return on an asset and the return on the overall market. A negative beta suggests that the asset tends to move in the opposite direction of the market, indicating that it is likely to perform well when the market declines and vice versa. This negative correlation can be valuable for diversification purposes in a portfolio.
