Sortino Ratio Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Sortino Ratio.
SR = (AR – RR) / TD
- Where SR is the Sortino Ratio ( )
- AR is the average realized return (%)
- RR is the required rate of return (%)
- TD is the target downside deviation (%)
How to Calculate Sortino Ratio?
The following example problems outline how to calculate Sortino Ratio.
Example Problem #1
- First, determine the average realized return (%).
- The average realized return (%) is calculated to be : 30.
- Next, determine the required rate of return (%).
- The required rate of return (%) is measured to be: 20.
- Next, determine the target downside deviation (%).
- The target downside deviation (%) is found to be: 5.
- Finally, calculate the Sortino Ratio using the formula above:
SR = (AR – RR) / TD
The values given above are inserted into the equation below and the solution is calculated:
SR = (30 – 20) / 5 = 2.00
Example Problem #2
The variables required for this problem are provided below:
average realized return (%) = 60
required rate of return (%) = 30
target downside deviation (%) = 20
Test your knowledge using the equation and check your answer with the calculator above.
SR = (AR – RR) / TD = ( )
