How Do Performance Measures Perform

[en] The article presents a discussion on how various performance measures actually perform when used in investment portfolio management. The author discusses the empirical quality of performance measures such as information ratio (IR), focusing on directional managed portfolios, the Treynor ratio, and an empirical methodology that allows many of the usual errors associated with ratios to be avoided. The author also discusses multi-index models, style-based mutual funds, and style-adjusted performance.
