Implications of Sharpe Ratio as a Performance Measure in Multi-Period Settings

Abstract: We study effects of using Sharpe ratio as a performance measure for compensating money managers in a dynamic and frictionless market setting. First, we demonstrate that with such a performance measure, the manager's focus on the short horizon performance is detrimental to the investor's long horizon performance. Numerical experiments illustrate that when returns are iid, the performance loss is significant, even when the investor's investment horizon is not much longer than the manager's. When expected returns… Show more

“…Hence, in addition to the utilization of Sharpe Index, Treynor Ratio, Jensen Index, and Sortino Ratio, this study also uses Adjusted Sharpe Index and Adjusted Jensen Index. Jobson & Korkie (1981), Cvitanic, Lazrak, & Wang (2007), and Zulkafli, Ahmad, & M. (2017) stated that the Sharpe Ratio have a weakness and could biased. Pav (2016) stated that the occurence of this bias was led by the noise of time series data.…”

“…Most of the previous similar research were using only Sharpe Index, Treynor Ratio, and Jensen Alpha. In fact, the Sharpe Index and Jensen Alpha have weaknesses, thus, they often need adjustments (Cvitanic, Lazrak & Wang, 2007;Kidd, 2011;Zulkafli, Ahmad & M., 2017).…”
