• ALPHA COEFFICIEN
  
  t Measures the extent to which a security's performance exceeds or falls short of the return you would expect given its level of risk (beta). An investment with a positive alpha has delivered more return than would have been predicted by its beta. A negative alpha denotes performance that is below what you would expect given its risk level.
