Largest increase of tail fatness, albeit bending of distribution towards positive. Strong down-trend and increasing
volatility identify portfolio also inferior in traditional Markowitz sense. Upside decreases and vice versa.

Relative Performance Measures
A) Jensen Alpha (SKILL) is the
intercept from a regression line for
strategy excess returns w.r.t. riskfree
on benchmark excess returns w.r.t.
riskfree. It is a measure for the skill
inherent in a strategy. Significance
indicates whether Jensen Alpha was
not generated by chance.
Excess returns from strategy versus benchmark. It is required that those are significant. Necessary, but not sufficient to evaluate a strategy as significant excess returns
generated in a bull market might be simply generated by plain leverage. Here Jensen Alpha required for complete picture.
B) Beta (LUCK) is the slope of the
regression line and the explanatory
variable for returns in this simple
factor model. Returns explained by
beta are considered to be generated
by luck, supposed market timing is
impossible.
Tail fatness of distribution: Large indicates fat tails (whether to upside/downside or neutral depends on skew). P-value indicates the significance of excess kurtosis with
respect to kurtosis equals 3 of Normal distribution.
Standard Deviation of returns below mean of excess returns with respect to risk-free rate. To be compared with plain volatility can shown asymmetry in returns and is
supplementary to skewness. Remark: Whereas volatility may also discriminate upside risk, downside volatility exclusively measures downside risk.
Worst possible loss from investing at highest level and selling at subsequent lowest level. Peak is start date for decline. Trough is date of highest loss. Recovery is the time
until prior peak was reached again.
Monthly volatility (stdev) of absolute returns multiplied by sqrt(12). Basic risk measure for fluctuation of returns. Does not distinguish between upside and downside risk.

Definition of "First Order Stochastic Dominance":
Strategy CDF stricly below benchmark CDF.
Please note: Minimum Expected Returns at any confidence level (CL) can be drawn from the CDF.
Glossary II
Minimum Expected Returns of Strategy and Benchmark subject to given Confidence Levels
Performance Ratios (upside per risk)
Excess returns mean over excess returns volatility (excess returns w.r.t. Risk free rate). Does not distinguish between up-/downside risk. Ignores asymmetry and fat tails.
Annualized by multiplying monthly Sharpe by sqrt(12)
Excess returns mean over excess returns downside volatility (excess returns w.r.t. Risk free rate). Distinguishes between up-/downside risk. Ignores asymmetry and fat tails.
Annualized by multiplying monthly Sortino by sqrt(12)
The portfolio moments (mean, variance, skewness and kurtosis) uniquely determine the Johnson distribution. The minimum expected returns at given confidence levels can then be drawn directly from
the Johnson distribution. The JP Omega optimized portfolio of a hedge fund strategy is compared to the equally weighted benchmark portfolio.
Returns p.a. compounded over maximum drawdown. This can be interpretet as recovery speed, e.g. Calmar ratio of 1 indicates that the maximum drawdown took in average
1 year to be recovered).
Excess returns mean over market beta. Market beta only covers market risk. In contrast volatility in addition covers specific risk. Does not distinguish between up-/downside
risk. Ignores specific risk, asymmetry and fat tails. Annualized by multiplying monthly Treynor by 12.
Excess returns mean over excess returns volatility (i.e. tracking error; excess returns w.r.t. benchmark). Does not distinguish between up-/downside risk. Ignores asymmetry
and fat tails. Annualized by multiplying monthly Information Ratio by sqrt(12)
Ratio of max. exp. gain over max. exp. loss, i.e. the implied strike of call (upside) over the implied strike of a put (downside) ratio, where the strike is implied by imposing JP
call and JP put, accounting for tail fatness, are "costfree", in the sense that the price of an option is 0.5 basispoints.
Ratio of entire upside potential (JP Call) over entire downside risk (JP Put). In contrast to the JP Gain vs Loss ratio the strike equals the equally weighted portfolio mean, and is
therefore not in the tails. The pricing reflects the overall ratio and not only the asymmetry of (un-)likely extrem events.
CDF indicates a 5% likelihood that Strategy and Benchmark will undershoot -4,1% and -1,6%; respectively.
