| johntan1979 | Not sure if I understand C... ranking does not denote significance? Surely a portfolio ranked #1 is better than another one ranked #100? |
| jonan203 | c is probably false because it is an ordinal measurement of comparative portfolios |
| gill15 | Ìt`s a ranking. Doesnt mean Twice as good --- just better. |
| Marinov | By the way, Treynor just passed away |
| ksarmand | Why can the Treynor ratio not be applied to assets with negative beta? |
| sshetty2 | I don't think they are saying that two portfolios with different total risk will be ranked differently. I think they are saying that the Treynor ratio will literally be identical. Looking at the formula, unsystematic risk is not part if it ie. the denominator is beta which is a measure of volatility based on relative systematic volatility only. |
I just wanted to share the good news that I passed CFA Level I!!! Thank you for your help - I think the online question bank helped cut the clutter and made a positive difference.
