SQL Server downside deviation of asset returns


DownsideDeviation

Updated: 31 January 2016


Use the aggregate function DownsideDeviation to calculate the downside deviation of asset returns. The formula for DownsideDeviation is:
Downside Deviation formula 
Where

R
=
asset return
MAR
=
minimum acceptable return
n
=
either the number of rows in the GROUP or the number of rows where R < MAR

Syntax
SELECT [wct].[DownsideDeviation](
  <@R, float,>
 ,<@MAR, float,>
 ,<@Full, bit,>)
Arguments
@R
the asset return for a period; the percentage return in floating point format (i.e. 10% = 0.10). @R is an expression of type float or of a type that can be implicitly converted to float.
@MAR
the minimum acceptable return in floating point format (i.e. 10% = 0.10). @MAR is an expression of type float or of a type that can be implicitly converted to float.
@Full
a bit value which determines the treatment of n in the DownsideDeviation equation. When @Full is TRUE then n is the number of non-null rows in the GROUP; when @Full is FALSE then n is the number of rows where @R < @MAR.
Return Type
float
Remarks
·         If @R IS NULL it is not included in the calculation.
·         If @MAR IS NULL it is not included in the calculation.
·         If there are no non-NULL rows in a GROUP then NULL is returned.
·         @MAR must be the same for all values in a GROUP.
·         Available in XLeratorDB / financial 2008 only
Examples
In this example we have returns for an asset and its benchmark for the last three years. The minimum acceptable return is 0.005.

To calculate the downside deviation for each manager using a minimum acceptable return of 0.5% we run the following SQL.
SELECT
   wct.DownsideDeviation(man1,0.005,'False') as man1
