HLE Glascoat (NSE:HLEGLAS) 1-Year Sortino Ratio Explanation
The 1-Year Sortino 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 the standard deviation of negative returns 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.
