Sortino Ratio Calculator
Measure Downside Risk Adjusted Investment Returns
The Sortino Ratio Calculator helps investors evaluate the risk adjusted performance of an investment by focusing only on downside volatility. Unlike the Sharpe ratio, the Sortino ratio considers only negative deviations from the expected return, providing a clearer picture of potential losses. By entering the investment’s expected return, the risk-free rate, and the downside deviation, this tool calculates the Sortino ratio. A higher ratio indicates a better return for the downside risk taken. Using this calculator, both novice and experienced investors can make informed decisions, select investments with favorable risk-reward profiles, and improve portfolio management strategies.
