This document compares the Sharpe Ratio and Information Ratio as measures of fund performance. The Sharpe Ratio compares a fund's returns to the returns of a risk-free benchmark, while the Information Ratio compares the fund's returns and risk to a relevant market index. This difference is illustrated through an analogy comparing cricket players' batting averages and risks to different benchmarks. The Information Ratio shows the excess returns of a fund compared to the market, while the Sharpe Ratio shows returns relative to no risk.
