Explanation:
The Sortino ratio is a variation of the Sharpe ratio that differentiates harmful volatility from total overall volatility by using the asset's standard deviation of negative portfolio returns—downside deviation—instead of the total standard deviation of portfolio returns. Sortino ratio = (Expected Return - Target Return) / Downside Deviation Sortino ratio = (0.0519 - 0.04) / 0.0017569 = 0.0119 / 0.0017569 ≈ 6.77.
