Sortino Ratio
Like Sharpe, but only counts downside volatility against you, not upward moves.
Sortino divides excess return by downside deviation. It is more appropriate than Sharpe for strategies with skewed return profiles or option-like payoffs.
Formula
Sortino = \frac{R_p - R_f}{\sigma_d}Related terms
