Automating the evaluation of portfolio performance is a key step in modern FinTech workflows. The **Sharpe Ratio** is a foundational metric for assessing **risk-adjusted returns**, helping you compare portfolios with different risk profiles on a level playing field. By calculating the Sharpe Ratio programmatically, you can quickly determine whether a portfolio's returns justify the risks taken, and categorize its performance for better investment decision-making.
