Interest Rates
The
Interest Rate is effectively the price at which one counterparty
(the borrower), borrows money from the other counterparty (the
lender).
The
Sharpe Ratio is a measure of the risk-adjusted return of
an investment. It was derived by Prof. William Sharpe, now at
of Stanford University who was one of three economist who received
the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1990 for their contributions
to what is now called "Modern Portfolio Theory".
Return
for Period: Return on investment
or portfolio
Risk-free Return: The risk-free rate is a theoretical
interest rate at which an investment may earn interest without
incurring any risk. In practice, the risk-free rate is often
a short-term Treasury rate (i.e., 90 Day Treasury Bill).
Standard Deviation: A measure of dispersion of a set
of data from their mean. The more spread apart the data is,
the higher the "deviation". In statistics is can also be calculated
as the square root of the variance.
