Information ratio vs appraisal ratio

can anyone explain the differences between the two ratios.

One uses active risk and another unsystematic risk.

One uses active return and another alpha.

Mr E pretty much nailed it!

Just for clarity. Appraisal ratio = Alpha / Unsystematic risk

Information Ratio = (Return Portfolio - Return Benchmark) / (Standard Deviation Portfolio - Standard Deviation Benchmark)
