Northland Power  (TSX:NPI) 5-Year Sharpe Ratio Explanation

The 5-Year Sharpe Ratio inidicates the risk-adjusted return of an investment over the past five years. It is calculated as the annualized result of the average five-year monthly excess returns divided by its standard deviation in the five-year period. The monthly excess return is the monthly investment return minus the monthly risk-free rate (typically the 10-year Treasury Constant Maturity Rate). If the risk-free rate for a specific region is not available, U.S. data is used by default.
