This comprehensive course will take you through all the major aspects of Performance Measurement. We will go through the pitfalls of calculating return and constructing a benchmark. Risk adjusted performance measures such as Sharpe, Jensen and Treynor will be defined, and pros and cons will be looked closer at through a workshop.
