What is the Sharpe Ratio of an equity fund with an expected risk premium of 8% and a standard deviation of 18%? round your answer to two decimal places Answer:
Answer:
Sharpe ratio = (Return of the portfolio - Risk free rate) /
Standard deviation of the portfolio's excess return
That is: Sharpe Ratio=(Rp−Rf) / σp
where, Rp−Rf is known as the risk premium
Therefore, Sharpe ratio = 8 / 18 = 0.44
A sharpe ratio greater than 1 is considered as good and acceptable and less than 1 is considered bad
