To add in the middle of page 331 of the book Fama's Performance Measure - Decomposition of Return All assets should

provide returns commensurate with the risk free rate and the risk. So far we studied ranking of mutual funds with respect to total risk (Sharpe) and systematic risk (Treynor) and performance compared to required return using CAP (!ensen). The analysis "y #ama provides a detailed "reakup of returns into risk free return$ reward for systematic risk$ reward for unsystematic risk as compared to the market and remainder due to net stock selectivity. The return due to stock selectivity$ positive or negative$ can "e used to %udge the performance of the fund manager in terms of return for "earing the risk for diversification which was different from the market portfolio. &f positive investors have "enefited from the stocks selected "y the fund manager.
