    E Negative alpha is considered underpriced Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The excess return of an investment relative to the return of a benchmark index is the investment's alpha. As per CAPM model, alpha would be the difference between the actual return earned and the required rate of return. Therefore, when the alpha is positive (ie. Actual return > required return as per CAPM), it means the security is underpriced leading to a higher actual return.
