The efficient portfolio is constructed by using different target returns for the eleven stocks that have formed the portfolio. For target return of 1%, value of both Sharpe as well as Treynor ratio stood at negative at -0.05 and -0.01. For target return of 2%, Sharpe ratio and Treynor ratio stood at -0.012 and -0.005. For these two levels of target returns, return of the stocks of portfolio is negative depicting that making investment in portfolio of these stocks is risky.
When considering the target return of 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, 11%, 12%, 13%, 14%, 15%, 16%, 17%, 18%, 20% and 25%, the value of Sharpe and Treynor ratio has come to positive indicating that stocks will be generating positive return and higher the value of ratios depicts that returns from the stocks will be return adjusted (Schyns 2016). It can be seen that when the percentage of target return is increasing, then the value of Sharpe as well as Treynor ratio is also increasing.
ETFs Categorized on the Basis of Asset Classes: Equity, Fixed Income and Commodity
The following table depicts the comparison between Treynor ratio and Sharpe ratio in the construction of efficient frontier for different level of target returns.
For the returns that are equally weighted, the return generated using Sharpe ratio stood at -285.53% and that of Treynor ratio stood at -3.31%. For the target level of return that is lower, it can be seen that value of both the ratio is negative indicating that returns are not adjusted for risks and stocks are generating negative return. With the increase in level of target return, the returns generated by the portfolio of stocks are increasing. Furthermore, it can also be seen that the value of Sharpe ratio for every level of target return is more than Treynor ratio. However, for the target return at 25%, it can be seen that value of Sharpe ratio is more than that of Treynor ratio. In addition to this, there is increasing deviation from average return of the portfolio of stocks when there is increase in target return. Therefore, the deviation from mean value increases when there is increase in set target value.
When looking the performance of portfolio using Sharpe ratio as performance measure, it can be seen that the return of stocks is negative at the target return of 1% and 2%. Using Teynor ratio as the performance measure, the return of stocks is negative for the target return of 1% and 2%. On other hand, for all the other target returns that have been set, the performance of portfolio is favourable as depicted from both the performance measures.
