overperformers
Those exceeding expectations
Overperformers are people, investments, or things that exceed expectations or outdo comparable peers.
The term appears frequently in business and finance contexts, where an overperformer might be a stock that beats market predictions or an employee who consistently surpasses their targets.
The fund's overperformers offset losses elsewhere in the portfolio.
Unlike high performers, who are simply good at what they do, overperformers are defined relative to what was anticipated of them.
