Sharpe and Sortino measure excess return over the risk-free rate (“vs cash”); Information ratio and Treynor are the benchmark-relative measures. Sortino downside deviation uses the full sample as its denominator. VaR is 95% parametric (normal). Data: CoinGecko (crypto), Financial Modeling Prep and Yahoo Finance (stocks, indices, commodities). Past performance does not indicate future results.
