Become Wealthy, Quicker, By Understanding Alpha and How It Relates To Investment Returns.

Their edge is defined as Alpha -- which represents the portion of an investment fund's return that is generated solely by the skills of the portfolio manager. Investors, traders, and speculators alike have searched for a dependable source of alpha for as long as there have been financial markets. The NCALPHA Strategy: Correlation compares the similarity of movement of a fund with an index. BETA is a measure of the relative volatility of a fund to an index. ALPHA is a measure of a funds ability to provide returns comensurate with its volatility relative to an index. NCALPHA is a modified form of alpha from Modern Portfolio Theory. Based on excellent work by Werner Gansz of FastTrack fame and a writer on IMAP FastTrack Forum he says, presumably if your investments have POSITIVE ALPHA, their returns are consistent with their volatility.

It's updated nightly (with one eye on the Beasley score). Plus a eye on the ACM recommendation. The second step is to find a family of funds that respond repeatedly and reliably to these strong small cap environments. We use a family of 150 no load funds. The third step is to run the family of funds through NCAlpha to find the funds that are currently demonstrating strong volatility-adjusted performance.
