Sharpe Ratio vs Average Annual Return

Formule

The Sharpe Ratio

Developed by Nobel laureate William Sharpe, this ratio measures the excess return per unit of total risk.

Formula

Sharpe Ratio = (Rp - Rf) / Std Dev

Where:

  • Rp = Portfolio return
  • Rf = Risk-free rate (typically T-bill yield)
  • Std Dev = Standard deviation of portfolio returns
  • Interpreting Results

    The higher the Sharpe ratio, the better the risk-adjusted performance. Use it to compare investments, not in isolation.

    Limitations

  • Assumes returns are normally distributed
  • Does not distinguish between upside and downside volatility
  • Sensitive to the time period chosen
  • Exemple Résolu

    10% average return, 4.5% risk-free rate, 12% volatility.

    1. 01Excess return = 10% - 4.5% = 5.5%
    2. 02Sharpe ratio = 5.5% / 12% = 0.458
    3. 03This is a moderate risk-adjusted return
    4. 04For comparison, the S&P 500 has a long-run Sharpe near 0.4-0.5

    Questions Fréquentes

    What risk-free rate should I use?

    Use the yield on a 3-month US Treasury bill for short-term analysis, or the 10-year Treasury yield for long-term comparisons. The risk-free rate should match the investment period being evaluated.

    Can the Sharpe ratio be negative?

    Yes. A negative Sharpe ratio means the investment returned less than the risk-free rate. You would have been better off in Treasury bills with less risk.

    How do I calculate standard deviation?

    Standard deviation measures the spread of returns around the average. Most brokerage and financial data sites report it. For a fund, check the fund fact sheet or Morningstar page for trailing volatility figures.
