Learning: Knowledge
Developed by economist William Sharpe, the Sharpe ratio is a representation of an investment’s performance with adjustments for risk. It represents the excess return per unit of volatility. This helps investors assess performance and decide if an investment is worth the risk. In general, a higher Sharpe ratio indicates better risk-adjusted returns.
