Aside from seniors and middle-aged people, even those under the relatively younger age of thirty five are worried about retiring because of the recession. A recent poll conducted by the Chicago Tribune states that almost half of all employees under thirty-five years of age are worried that they might not have enough money to retire.Tom Muldowney of Savant Capital Management who lives in Rockford, Illinois just outside of Chicago, says that financial market conditions that started a decade ago have caused stricter credit market guidelines, which in turn resulted in many unoccupied homes, as well as residences that have yet to be paid for. Aside from ongoing economic woes, other factors such as low savings rates in the country are rendering many Americans incapable of retiring comfortably, says University of Illinois director Jeffrey Brown.The increased life expectancies seniors are experiencing are giving these same people problems when planning for retirement.

What is "Alpha"?In investment terminology, "alpha" refers to the level of outperformance of a portfolio relative to an appropriate benchmark. Of course, everyone would like to achieve returns in excess of their benchmark. But you're advised to have a good grasp of the cost and chance of achieving alpha before you decide to chase it.There are two broad approaches to investment management: active and passive. An active approach seeks to add value, or alpha, by over weighting exposure to securities that are believed to be undervalued and under weighting those believed to be overvalued. The obvious aim is to perform better than a strategy that simply holds all securities according to their market weight (i.e. benchmark portfolio).Passive investment managers believe that it's highly improbable that you'll be able to reliably outperform the benchmark over the long term (without taking more risk). Their focus is therefore not on beating the benchmark but replicating it as cheaply as possible. Their value add is in providing a diversified portfolio with minimal trading and management costs.Shouldn't everyone go for "Alpha"?If you knew that your additional return would more...more
