excess return

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
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.
