excess return

The return on an asset or a portfolio in excess of the risk-free return. If short-term corporate debt provides a return of 4 ¹/₂ % while U.S. Treasury bills are yielding 3 ¹/₂ %, excess return on the corporate debt is 1%. Excess return is usually correlated with the riskiness of an investment.
