IRESS  (ASX:IRE) 1-Year Sharpe Ratio Explanation

The 1-Year Sharpe Ratio inidicates the risk-adjusted return of an investment over the past year. It is calculated as the annualized result of the average monthly excess return divided by its standard deviation over the past year. 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.

The greater a portfolio's Sharpe Ratio, the better its risk-adjusted performance. A negative Sharpe Ratio means the risk-free rate is greater than the portfolio’s historical or projected return, or else the portfolio's return is expected to be negative.

IRESS Business Description

Address 385 Bourke Street, Level 16, Melbourne, VIC, AUS, 3000
Iress develops software for the financial-services industry, operating in multiple regions and servicing clients ranging from small retail to large institutional businesses. Its core business unit, mainly in Australia, generates most of the company's earnings and free cash flows. Iress expanded into noncore markets through acquisitions, ultimately eroding returns and margins, with free cash flows from the core business invested in the noncore businesses. Its recent strategy includes reprioritizing growth in the core Trading and Market Data and Wealth businesses, and divesting/monetizing noncore assets. We view this renewed focus on its core business as a positive, as it will help maintain Iress' economic moat.
