SharpeRatio

Markets

Definition

A measure of risk-adjusted returns, calculated as the excess return (above the risk-free rate) divided by the standard deviation of returns. A higher Sharpe ratio indicates better risk-adjusted performance. It helps compare funds with different risk levels on a common scale.

Example

If Fund A has a return of 15% with a standard deviation of 12% and the risk-free rate is 6%, its Sharpe ratio is (15-6)/12 = 0.75. A higher ratio indicates better reward per unit of risk.
