Sharpe Ratio

What is Sharpe Ratio?

The Sharpe ratio is a measure of risk-adjusted return that calculates the excess return per unit of risk. It is calculated by subtracting the risk-free rate from the portfolio return and dividing by the standard deviation of the portfolio's excess return. A higher Sharpe ratio indicates better risk-adjusted performance, as it shows more return per unit of risk taken.
