Separate skill from luck. Model information ratio, tracking risk and multi-manager odds under clear assumptions, privately on your device. For PMs and CFA candidates.
Noisy Alpha helps portfolio managers, risk analysts and CFA candidates separate investment skill from market noise, under clear statistical assumptions, entirely on your device.
SKILL VS LUCK, EXPLAINED
• Information Ratio: fixed skill, implied alpha at a chosen tracking risk, and the probability of beating the benchmark at horizons from one month to twenty years
• Tracking Risk: the zero-skill path, showing how often luck alone can clear an alpha target
• Multiple Managers: a binomial model of how many independent managers may outperform
BUILT FOR PROFESSIONAL INTUITION

• Full-screen charts with ghost comparisons
• Teaching presets for meetings and classrooms
