| deguchiusa | Please explain why expected active risk will be doubled. |
| tianhes | I am guessing it is because the combined weights will exceed 100%, and thus the investor will use leverage. Therefore expected active risk will double? |
| b25331 | If all active weights are doubled, the expected active return would be doubled as well. This goes into the numerator. If active weights are doubled, so is active risk. This goes into the denominator. This leave the IR ratio unchanged. What happens outside the portfolio with respect to e.g. leverage does not matter in this case |
