Expert Tip

The Treynor ratio evaluates performance based on systemic risk (beta), whereas the Sharpe ratio uses total risk (standard deviation).

How this Calculator Works

This calculator computes the Treynor Ratio, which measures the excess return generated per unit of systematic risk (Beta) instead of total risk. Unlike the Sharpe Ratio, it is ideal for evaluating well-diversified portfolios that have eliminated unsystematic risk. Equity managers use it to rate investment efficiency.

Formula & Methodology

Treynor Ratio = (Portfolio Return - Risk-Free Rate) / Portfolio Beta - Portfolio Return is the average annual rate of return of the asset portfolio. - Risk-Free Rate is the return on riskless deposits. - Portfolio Beta is the systematic risk coefficient of the portfolio.

Step-by-Step Calculation Example

Here is a step-by-step example showing how the calculations are performed:

A diversified equity fund yields a return of 11% with a Beta of 1.25. The risk-free interest rate is 3%. 1. Calculate excess return: 11% - 3% = 8%. 2. Divide by Beta: 8% / 1.25 = 6.40. Result: The Treynor Ratio is 6.40.

FAQ

How does compounding frequency impact investment returns?
More frequent compounding (e.g. monthly or daily vs. annually) generates higher effective annual yields (APY) because interest is calculated on accumulated interest earlier in the period.
What is the difference between Sharpe Ratio and Sortino Ratio?
The Sharpe ratio divides excess return by total standard deviation (both upside and downside volatility), whereas the Sortino ratio divides excess return by downside deviation only.
Should investment calculators replace professional wealth management?
No. Investment calculators model financial mathematics under assumed growth rates. Actual market performance fluctuates, so consult a licensed financial planner (CFP) or RIA for personalized advice.
