ALPHA MINUS Meaning and
Definition
-
"Alpha minus" is a term used in finance and investment to refer to investment managers or funds that have consistently underperformed relative to a benchmark or their peers in terms of generating returns. It is essentially a measure of below-average or inadequate performance.
The term "alpha" in the investment world represents the excess return generated by an investment, above and beyond the return of the overall market or a benchmark. This value is often used to assess the skill and performance of investment managers. When investment performance falls below the benchmark or average return, it is referred to as "alpha minus."
Alpha minus implies that the investment manager or fund has not been able to generate satisfactory returns and may have experienced losses or subpar performance compared to expectations. This could be due to various factors, such as poor investment decisions, unsuccessful strategies, misjudgment of market trends, or lack of skill in timing the market.
Investors often assess the performance of investment managers by comparing their alpha values, with a positive alpha indicating outperformance and a negative alpha indicating underperformance. Alpha minus, therefore, suggests that the investment manager or fund has failed to meet or exceed the expected level of returns, raising concerns about their ability to effectively manage investments and generate profits.
