A Note on Trader Sharpe Ratios
Traders in the financial world are assessed by the amount of money they make and, increasingly, by the amount of money they make per unit of risk taken, a measure known as the Sharpe Ratio. Little is known about the average Sharpe Ratio among traders, but the Efficient Market Hypothesis suggests that traders, like asset managers, should not outperform the broad market. Here we report the findin...
متن کاملNotes on the Sharpe ratio
Herein is an incomplete collection of facts about the Sharpe ratio, and the Sharpe ratio of the Markowitz portfolio. Connections between the Sharpe ratio and the t-test, and between the Markowitz portfolio and the Hotelling T 2 statistic are explored. Many classical results for testing means can be easily translated into tests on assets and portfolios. A ‘unified’ framework is described which c...
متن کاملThe 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...
متن کاملThe Statistics of Sharpe Ratios
The building blocks of the Sharpe ratio—expected returns and volatilities— are unknown quantities that must be estimated statistically and are, therefore, subject to estimation error. This raises the natural question: How accurately are Sharpe ratios measured? To address this question, I derive explicit expressions for the statistical distribution of the Sharpe ratio using standard asymptotic t...
