medium · Certified Financial Planner Investment Planning

An investment analyst is evaluating a mutual fund for the Alvarez household. The fund has a beta of 1.25 and an R^2 of 0.58 relative to its benchmark.

Which performance measure should be given the most weight in this evaluation?

  1. Treynor ratio, because the fund's beta is greater than 1.0, indicating high systematic risk.
  2. Sharpe ratio, because the low R^2 indicates that a significant portion of the risk is unsystematic.
  3. The Capital Market Line, because it allows for the comparison of any asset regardless of its correlation to the market.
  4. Jensen's alpha, as it isolates the manager's skill in generating excess returns regardless of diversification.
