Alpha, Beta and the CAPM

The Foundation of Long-Term Expected Investment Return

The Capital Asset Pricing Model provides the theoretical basis for estimating expected long-term investment returns. It also introduces the two siblings alpha and beta. Alpha and beta are key indicators in assessing investment performance. Beta measures an investment's sensitivity to market fluctuations. It tells us how much market risk is 'embedded' in an investment. Alpha measures how much more return an investment generates than would be expected based on its market exposure. It is therefore an indicator of a portfolio manager's ability to generate excess returns.
