[Series 65] 45, Sharpe Treynor and Jensen Performance Measures

This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams. In this episode you will learn: - The Sharpe Ratio uses standard deviation to measure return per unit of total risk, making it ideal for non-diversified portfolios. - The Treynor Ratio uses beta to measure return per unit of systematic risk, making it the correct choice for well-diversified portfolios. - Jensen's Alpha is a measure of a manager's skill, calculating the excess return a portfolio earned above its expected return based on its beta. - How the Series 65 exam tests these concepts conceptually, focusing on which measure is appropriate for a given scenario rather than complex calculations. - A simple mnemonic to remember the key risk component for each performance measure: Sharpe for Standard Deviation, Treynor for Beta, and Jensen for Genius (Alpha).

NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next.
