Interest Rates

The Interest Rate is effectively the price at which one counterparty (the borrower), borrows money from the other counterparty (the lender).

The Sharpe Ratio is a measure of the risk-adjusted return of an investment. It was derived by Prof. William Sharpe, now at of Stanford University who was one of three economist who received the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1990 for their contributions to what is now called "Modern Portfolio Theory".

Return for Period: Return on investment or portfolio

Risk-free Return: The risk-free rate is a theoretical interest rate at which an investment may earn interest without incurring any risk. In practice, the risk-free rate is often a short-term Treasury rate (i.e., 90 Day Treasury Bill).

Standard Deviation: A measure of dispersion of a set of data from their mean. The more spread apart the data is, the higher the "deviation". In statistics is can also be calculated as the square root of the variance.
