Two investment advisers are comparing performance. One averaged
a 19% return and the other a 16% return. However, the beta of the
first adviser was 1.5, while that of the second was 1.

selector of individual stocks (aside from the issue of general
movements in the market)?

return during the period were 14%, which adviser would appear
to be the superior stock selector?
