It indicates the portion of a manager's return that can attributed to the manager's skill rather than the movement of the overall market. A positive alpha implies that a manager has added value over and above the performance of the market; conversely, a negative alpha would indicate that the manager has reduced value by underperforming the market. (To learn more, read Adding Alpha Without Adding Risk.) BetaBeta measures the manager's systematic risk. It compares the return volatility of the manager to the volatility of returns for a comparable market index. The index has a beta of 1 by definition. A beta of 1.20 would imply a volatility level 20% higher than the overall market, and a beta of 0.80 would indicate volatility 20% lower than the market. (For more insight, read Bet

PDF version: StatFacts_Tracking_Error.pdf How Is it Useful? Tracking error measures the consistency of excess returns. It is created by taking the difference between the manager return and the benchmark return every month or quarter and then calculating how volatile that difference is. Tracking error is also useful in determining just how “active” a tracking error in manager’s strategy is. The lower the tracking error, the closer the manager follows the benchmark. The higher the tracking error, the more the manager deviates from the benchmark. What Is a Good Number? A good tracking error depends upon investor preference. If the investor believes markets are efficient and that it is difficult for active managers to consistently add value, then that investor would prefer a lower tracking error. Alternatively, if the investor believes that smart active managers can add significant value and should not be “tied down” to a benchmark, the investor would tolerate higher levels of tracking error. What Are the Limitations? Tracking error cuts both ways, measuring both periods of outperformance and underperformance versus the benchmark. An investor would prefer high tracking error if there was a high degree of outperformance but a low tracking error if there was consistent underperformance. Tracking error does not distinguish between the two. What Do the Graphs Show Me? Below are two very different active managers. The green bars represent months of outperformance. The red bars are months of underperformance versus the benchmark. Tracking erro
