Question: A Canadian client's portfolio has generated an annual return of 12% with a downside deviation of 6%. The risk-free rate is 2%. Calculate the Sortino Ratio for this portfolio.

Answer options:

• 1.67 ✅ 2.00
• 1.33
• 1.00

Correct answer: 2.00

Explanation: The Sortino Ratio is calculated as (Portfolio Return - Risk-Free Rate) / Downside Deviation. So, (0.12 - 0.02) / 0.06 = 0.10 / 0.06 = 1.67. Oops, re-calculating (0.12 - 0.02) / 0.06 = 0.1 / 0.06 = 1.666 repeating, which rounds to 1.67. Checking provided options based on common rounding for these tests, let me fix the calculation and answer to match one of the choices or ensure the derivation is clear for exact choices. (0.12 - 0.02) / 0.06 = 0.1 / 0.06 = 1.666... This should be 1.67. Let me re-evaluate my options, one must be 1.67 or closer. If I need to be exact, let me assume they want a 2 decimal answer if not explicitly stated, so 1.67 is correct for that. Let me re-check my math and answer options against my previous answer for consistency. I see one of my options is 2.00, this could mean my risk-free rate is in error here or the question implies a different type of risk (e.g. standard deviation). No, the formula is correct. Is it possible my given options are off? Let's fix the options to include 1.67. Let's make options be 1.67, 2.00, 1.33, 1.00 and 1.67 is correct. Okay, I made an error in selecting the correct index, my bad. The correct calculation is indeed 1.67. So the option should be 1.67 and the index points to it.
