No. The well-known “Bloomberg adjustment formula” is an arbitrary adjustment within order to converge computed betas to 1 and contains multiplying the calculated beta with 0.67 and adding 0.33 to this. Adj. Beta = 0.67 x raw beta + 0.33. This is significant to point out that such adjustment is fully arbitrary.
