[A16] - Chapter 16: Portfolio Performance Measurement (NISM Series X-A)

Welcome to Chapter 16 of the DeepStratAI audio masterclass.

How do you know if your investments are actually working? In this episode, we tackle Portfolio Performance Measurement and Evaluation. We strip away the complex math and explain how to judge your portfolio's success by looking at both the return and the risk taken to get there. We will help you understand the difference between Alpha (manager skill) and Beta (market risk), and how to properly benchmark your investments against the market.

🎧 What You Will Hear:
- Why calculating a simple Holding Period Return (HPR) is just the starting point.
- The real-world difference between gross returns and net returns.
- Understanding systematic (market) risk versus unsystematic risk.
- A simple breakdown of risk-adjusted measures like the Sharpe and Treynor ratios.
- Performance attribution: Separating true fund manager skill from pure luck.
