Appraisal Ratio
A measure of a fund or portfolio's performance calculated by taking its alpha ? a measure of the fund's return, assuming market return is zero ? and dividing by its unsystemic risk or standard deviation.

They may change the composition of funds and portfolios with suboptimal appraisal ratios.
