First, in a two-period model, we analyze the game played by two risk-neutral fund managers with ranking objectives. We show that i...

The Sharpe Ratio Efficient Frontier

We evaluate the probability that an estimated Sharpe ratio exceeds a given threshold in presence of non-Normal returns. We show that this new uncertainty-adjusted investment skill metric (called Probabilistic Sharpe ratio, or PSR) has a number of important applications: First, it allows us to establish the track record length needed for rejecting the hypothesis that a measured Sharpe ratio is b...
