A PMS portfolio returned 13% with a beta of 0.8, with a risk-free rate of 5%. What is its Treynor ratio?

The Treynor ratio is 10. It equals the excess return over the risk-free rate (13% minus 5% = 8%) divided by the portfolio beta of 0.8, so it measures excess return per unit of systematic risk.

  1. A10.0Correct
  2. B16.25
  3. C1.60
  4. D8.0

Explanation

Treynor ratio = (Rp - Rf) / beta = (13 - 5) / 0.8 = 8 / 0.8 = 10. The 16.25 option divides 13 by 0.8 and ignores the risk-free rate. The 8.0 option omits division by beta.
