During a particular year, the T-bill rate was 6%, the market return was 14%, and a portfolio manager with a beta of 0.5 realized a return of 10%. What was the manager's alpha?
Alpha = Actual Return - CAPM Predicted Return
Actual Return (given) = 10%
CAPM Predicted Return = rf + beta • (rM - rf) = 6% + 0.5 • (14% - 6%) = 10%
Alpha = 10% – [6% + 0.5 • (14% - 6%)] = 0.00%
The manager's alpha was 0%.
