The more significant fund with the smaller edge
An allocator compares two funds. Fund X reports for its alpha; fund Y reports . The allocator says, "X's alpha is clearly far larger, its p-value is tiny."
Explain the flaw in this reasoning, and construct a concrete case where fund Y actually has the larger alpha despite the larger p-value.
