In risk analysis, any ratio that measures a company's leverage. One example of a gearing ratio is the long-term debt/capitalization ratio, which is calculated by taking the company's long-term debt and dividing it by its long-term debt added to its preferred and common stock.
The Treynor ratio is another risk-adjusted performance figure that is very similar to the Sharpe ratio. Both ratios measure how well an investment vehicle compensates the investor for a given level of risk. Both measure excess return above the risk-free rate per unit of risk. The main difference is that the Sharpe ratio uses standard deviation as the risk measure, whereas the Treynor ratio uses beta.
