The Information Ratio (IR) quantifies the risk-adjusted return of an investment portfolio or fund manager relative to a benchmark.

Information Ratio (IR) = (Rp - Rb) / TE

Where:

  • Rp = Portfolio Return (Average)
  • Rb = Benchmark Return (Average)
  • TE = Tracking Error (Standard Deviation of Excess Returns, i.e., Standard Deviation of (Rp - Rb))
