| johntan1979 | Jensen's Alpha measures the excess or abnormal return over the theoretical expected return. You shouldn't pay your fund manager more than this amount, logically-speaking. |
| ascruggs92 | Jensen's Alpha measures excess return over the market. If a money manager charges you 1% but he only generates 0.5% alpha annualized, then his clients will end up under-performing after paying fees. |
I am happy to say that I passed! Your study notes certainly helped prepare me for what was the most difficult exam I had ever taken.
