For example, comparing the 10-year Sortino ratios of two (fictional) funds in the same category – Alpha Growth and Beta Value – reveals that the latter, with a ratio of 1.24, has generated a significantly higher return given its downside volatility than did the former, which had a Sortino ratio of 0.96. The Sortino ratio tells us whether a portfolio's returns are due to smart
decisions or a result of excess risk. Sortino vs. Sharpe ratio The Sortino ratio is similar to the , however it uses a different method of calculation.

The formula is as follows: Sortino ratio = (Rp - Rf) / σd Rp = expected portfolio returns Rf = risk-free interest rate σd = downside deviation of the portfolio How to use the Sortino ratio Funds that cite the Sortino ratio are usually those with the least tolerance for risk. In these cases, the Sortino ratio may be presented as a compliment to an investment
that is risk-averse. This ratio allows investors to assess risk in a focused manner than simply looking at excess returns to total volatility.
