Main academic criticism of the Sharpe ratio concerns its lack of incorporating skewness in performance evaluation. In this paper we rewrite the classical Sharpe ratio for skew-normal distributions. This new skew-normal Sharpe ratio consistently moves with skewness, and no distorted information on performance is provided. An empirical investigation illustrates skew-normality of mutual and hedge fund returns.
