High returns low alpha

Hi guys!

Here is the performance of my algorithm that selects companies based on ROIC and filters companies based on PE ratio less than 30. I am curious why is the return high and the alpha low. Can anyone please help me out?

I think your BETA is too high. If you could make the BETA low, the alpha will be biger, I think.
