In the winter (like now), they are the same as Halifax, NS and as noted above are 1 hour ahead of NYC... BUT. in the spring and summer (after the spring forward time change) the DR is the same as NYC. Until the fall back time change in the Fall when they once again are the same as Halifax, NS and one hour earlier than NYC. Etc., etc., etc.
The Sortino ratio, named after Frank A. Sortino, measures the risk-adjusted return of an individual asset or a portfolio, as do the Sharpe and Treynor ratios. However, it only concerns itself with returns that fall below a user-specific minimum or required rate of return (minimum accepted return, or MAR).
The Sharpe ratio is calculated by subtracting the risk-free rate, such as that of the 10-year U.S. Treasury bond, from the rate of return of a portfolio and then dividing the result by the standard deviation of the portfolio returns.he greater a portfolio's Sharpe ratio is, the better its risk-adjusted performance has been. A variation of the Sharpe ratio is the Sortino ratio, which removes the effects of upward price movements on standard deviation to measure only return against downward price volatility.
