	Brill's Mutual Funds Interactive(R) -- Funds 101
		With the help of a nifty formula called the Sharpe Ratio, named after its creator, Nobel Laureate and Stanford Economics Professor William Sharpe, investors can measure how effectively a fund utilizes risk, and compare funds with different risk profiles.
		The Sharpe Ratio measures a fund's returns in excess of the risk free rate (usually 90 day Tbills) for a given period (usually 36 months) and divides it by the standard deviation (a statistical measure of risk) of those returns in the given period.
		Despite its wide acceptance among academics and institutions, the Sharpe ratio is not well known among the general investing public.

		And although the results of the general solution are used in a few advanced portfolio optimization programs, the solution to the general problem should not be seen merely as a computing procedure.
		By providing invaluable insights into the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM), Dr. William Sharpe assured myself a position as one of the most influential financial minds of the twentieth century.
		With its discussions of how financial markets should act--and if they act as expected, how investors should respond--its value to today's investor is perhaps greater than at any time in the past.
