Primary Rankings
Sharpe Ratio Sharpe Ratio Risk-adjusted return: annualized return divided by annualized volatility. 2.1854 (best) 1.9481
Rank Rank Position on the leaderboard, ordered by Sharpe ratio. #19 #21
Returns
Annualized Return Annualized Return Average yearly return, after scaling the portfolio to the 10% volatility target. 21.85% (best) 19.48%
Risk
Max Drawdown Max Drawdown Largest peak-to-trough decline during the test period. -19.40% -9.92% (best)
Downside Deviation Downside Deviation Standard deviation of negative monthly returns only. 1.295% 1.198% (best)
Annualized Downside Dev Annualized Downside Deviation Downside deviation in annual terms. 4.49% 4.15% (best)
Risk-Adjusted Performance
Sortino Ratio Sortino Ratio Return per unit of downside risk: like Sharpe, but only negative volatility counts. 4.8697 (best) 4.6958
Calmar Ratio Calmar Ratio Annualized return divided by the maximum drawdown. 1.1263 1.9643 (best)
Win Rate Win Rate Share of months with a positive return. 73.5% 74.3% (best)
Distribution
Skewness Skewness Asymmetry of returns. Positive skew means more large gains than large losses. 0.608 1.387
Kurtosis Kurtosis Tail thickness. Higher values mean more extreme months, in either direction. 1.552 2.979
Volatility Targeting
Raw Volatility Raw Volatility Volatility of the portfolio before it was scaled to the 10% target. 11.57% 374.37%
Scaling Factor Scaling Factor Multiplier applied to the portfolio to reach the 10% volatility target. 0.864 0.027
Observations Observations Number of monthly returns used for the evaluation. 408 mo 408 mo
Market Exposure (CAPM)
Beta Beta Sensitivity to market movements. 1.0 moves one-for-one with the market. -0.22 2.99
Alpha (ann.) Alpha (ann.) Average yearly return not explained by market exposure (the monthly regression alpha × 12). 23.43% (best) 18.81%
Information Ratio Information Ratio Annualized alpha per unit of residual risk: alpha ÷ std(residuals) × √12. 2.4440 (best) 1.8930
R² R² Share of the return variance explained by market movements. 8.4% 1.5%
Alpha t-stat Alpha t-stat Statistical significance of the alpha estimate. A |t| above about 2 suggests it is not chance. 14.08 10.90
