Relative Risk

Relative risk measures explicitly or implicitly compare the portfolio returns to some kind of "benchmark" return. Different relative risk measures use different benchmarks...

  • Semi-Volatility: Zero return
  • Downside Probability: Threshold returns
  • Lower Partial Moments: Threshold returns
  • Value-At-Risk: Threshold returns
  • Tracking Error, Correlation, Beta: Moving target (usually a benchmark index)
  • Price of a Put Option: Threshold returns
