Active Risk

外汇网2021-06-19 13:40:40 249

A type of risk that a fund or managed portfolio creates as it attempts to beat the returns of the benchmark against which it is compared. In theory, to generate a higher return than the benchmark, the manager is required to take on more risk. This risk is referred to as active risk.

The more an active portfolio manager perges from a stated benchmark, the higher the chances become that the returns of the fund could perge from that benchmark as well. Passive managers who look to replicate an index as closely as possible usually provide the lowest levels of active risk, but this also limits the potential for market-beating returns.
