DEFINITIONS
Beta: Measure of the systematic risk of a security or portfolio in comparison to the market as a whole.
Maximum Drawdown: The maximum loss from a peak to a trough of an investment or portfolio, before a new peak is attained.
Sharpe Ratio: Ratio which measures risk-adjusted performance.
Sortino Ratio: Risk-adjusted evaluation of return on an investment that is a variation of the Sharpe Ratio, in that it only factors in downside risk. It is used more to evaluate high volatility portfolios.
Standard Deviation: A measure of an investment’s volatility. Standard Deviation measures how much the investment returns deviate from the mean of the probability distribution of investments (how much the investment will deviate from its expected return). Investors use this metric to help determine an investment or portfolio’s annual return by considering its historical volatility.
