Sharpe Ratio
|
A risk-adjusted measure of return that divides a portfolio's return in excess of the riskless return by the portfolio's standard deviation. Because it adjusts return for total portfolio risk, an implicit assumption of the Sharpe ratio is that the portfolio will not be combined with other risky portfolios. It is relevant for performance evaluation when comparing mutually exclusive portfolios. Compare to Treynor Measure.
