Here is a published list of CTA's which purports to show amongst the
rankings, the Sharpe Ratio. A possibly more meaningful first measure than
Sharpe Ratio for ranking might be the ROR divided by the WDD, Ratio of
Return to Drawdown. In analysing the following by reference to amounts under
management (which are not shown here) it appears that variability of returns
and variability of drawdown and the relationship between the two is very
important. Some of the CTA's with the lowest returns who also have the
lowest drawdown, have the largest amounts under management.
