Sharpe Ratio, Definition

Sharpe Ratio is a risk adjusted measure of a fund's market performance. It measures a fund's average historical return per unit of risk. The higher the number the better the fund has performed. This performance measure was developed by William F. Sharpe who won the nobel prize in Economics along with three other economists for their contributions to Modern Portfolio Theory.
