| Abstract: | This paper proposes a new rule for risk adjustment and performance evaluation. This rule is a generalization of the well-known Sharpe ratio criterion, and under normal conditions enables a manager to correctly assess alternative risky investments. The rule is superior to existing rules such as the standard Sharpe rule and the RAROC, and can make a substantial difference in estimates of required returns. |
