Is Your Fund Manager a Fraud? (Alpha vs. Beta)

Описание: Is your fund manager really earning their high fee? Or are they just getting lucky? Learn the critical difference between Alpha (skill) and Beta (market) in 60 seconds.

This video breaks down one of the most important concepts in investing: evaluating an active manager. We show you why a manager's "market-beating" returns might just be a mirage. Before you pay a 1.0%+ fee, you MUST understand if you're paying for real skill or just for the market's natural movement, which you can get almost for free.

Financial Theory Explained:

This concept is a cornerstone of Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT).

1. Beta (Systematic Risk): This measures a fund's volatility or movement in relation to the entire market (like the S&P 500). The market itself has a Beta of 1.0. If your fund also has a Beta of 1.0, it's expected to move with the market. If the market is up 15%, your fund is up 15%. This is not skill; it's just market exposure.

2. Alpha (Active Return): This is what you're paying the high fee for. Alpha is the excess return your manager generates above the return expected based on its Beta. It's the measure of their "engine" or their actual skill in stock-picking and market-timing. A positive Alpha means they added value. A negative Alpha (common after fees) means you would have been better off in a simple, low-cost index fund.
