This Balanced Scorecard is designed to measure the performance of funds under the active portfolio management approach. It consists of the quantitative metrics, asset allocation metrics, and risk-adjusted return metrics that allow us to measure the performance of the portfolio with risk adjusted metrics opposite to the absolute return, used in passive management approach. The appropriate choice of the performance measure mostly depends on the role of the portfolio under question that can vary significantly. Thus it can represent the whole investment fund or its fracture, or a sub-portfolio of many portfolios.

Moving to the definition of a passive portfolio, it is the one that has 'diversification of its components' as the strongest pillar giving it the support.
An active portfolio investment is carried out with the purpose of surpassing an investment benchmark index whereas no such aim exists in passive portfolio management. To achieve this, an active portfolio scorecard is often used to answer the 'tracking issues'.

Due to the basic principle that makes up the 'background' of an active portfolio, it is needed that the active portfolio management be done with a good understanding about both the categories of information, that which is 'available' and the one that is to be 'forecasted'.
An active portfolio coach benefits by exploiting the inefficiencies of the market. This is to say that the person buys 'undervalued' securities and short sells 'overvalued ones'. Either of the methods or an appropriate combination of these can be employed by the manager. One of the factors that determines the mix of the two approaches is the 'level of volatility' demanded by the portfolio holder.
