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).
