The measurement of change in the value of an investment, equal to 1/100th of 1%. e.g. 1% equals 100 basis points. If a yield moves from 6% to 6.5%, it is said to have moved by 50 basis points.
The performance measure an investment portfolio compares itself to. This may be the returns of a market index or a more specific target. e.g. Investment Property Databank (IPD) Pooled Property Fund Index or CPI +6% are types of benchmarks.

Beta is a quantitative measure of the volatility of a fund or portfolio, relative to the overall market. A beta of 1 equals the market return. For example, a portfolio with a beta of 1.2 might be expected to perform some 20% better than the market when it rises and 20% worse when it falls. Similarly, a beta of 0.5 implies a movement equal to only half the market’s rise or fall. A beta measurement is commonly used to measure the risk level of a particular investment/investment portfolio. See also Alpha.
