The information ratio measures the portfolio’s risk-adjusted return over a benchmark. It tracks the consistency of portfolio managers when generating an excess return. To calculate the metric, you divide the active return by the tracking error. In the nominator, you see the difference between the portfolio return and the index return (the active return), and in the denominator, you have the standard deviation of the active return, also known as the tracking error.

This open-access Excel template is a useful tool for statisticians, financial analysts, data analysts, and portfolio managers.
