What is the Jensen's Alpha and what does it measure?

0% of students got this wrong

EXPLANATION

Jensen's Alpha measures the actual fund return minus the expected return based on the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM). CAPM expected return = Risk-free rate + Beta × (Market return - Risk-free rate). Positive Jensen's Alpha means the manager added value beyond what was expected for the systematic risk taken.
