Risk Adjusted PerformanceRisk Adjusted Performance

The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) explains the relationship between risk and expected return in equilibrium.

The rate of return on an actively managed portfolio in excess of what is explained by CAPM is commonly referred to alpha (α).

Alpha is a measure of added-value and is commonly used to evaluate the performance of portfolio managers.
