Show Notes

We think average 10-year returns present a fair picture of investment skill. But how to measure risk? The Sharpe ratio compares long-term returns with short-term volatility (standard deviation of monthly returns); we see the standard deviation of our 10-year returns as a better measure. Rich Pzena and Bill Lipsey provide a deep value perspective on risk and return.
