  2. Jensen's alpha - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jensen's_alpha

    Jensen's alpha is a statistic that is commonly used in empirical finance to assess the marginal return associated with unit exposure to a given strategy. Generalizing the above definition to the multifactor setting, Jensen's alpha is a measure of the marginal return associated with an additional strategy that is not explained by existing factors.
