On the foundation of performance measures under asymmetric returns
TL;DR: In this article, two performance measures advocated for asymmetric return distributions, the Sortino ratio and the power utility, were examined and compared with the maximum principle in the context of asymmetric distributions.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Extended Family of Financial-Risk Measures
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors survey measures from different academic disciplines, including psychology, operations research, management science, economics, and finance, that have been introduced since 1973, and give four axioms that describe necessary attributes of a good financial risk measure and show which of the measures surveyed satisfy these.

On empirical risk measurement with asymmetric returns data
TL;DR: In this article, the relative merits of asymmetric and asymmetric risk measures using UK equity data for differently sized companies and at different frequencies were investigated, and it was shown that when equity returns are not normal -which is the case for most daily and weekly returns, and for a large portion of smaller firms -the CAPM is rejected in 30%-50% of cases, and the optimal choice of alternative model is LPM-CAPM in over two thirds of these.
Journal ArticleDOI
Small Sample Analysis of Performance Measures in the Asymmetric Response Model
TL;DR: This article reviewed and extended definitions and properties of the three classical performance statistics (the Sharpe Ratio, the Treynor Index, and Jensen's Alpha) by locating them in a more general framework: the asymmetric response mode.
