USING THE SORTINO COEFFICIENT IN THE ASSESSMENT OF FINANCIAL RISKS OF AN INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO

Authors

Abstract

In this article, 5 real sector enterprises operating in Uzbekistan were taken as the object of research, i.e. “Kvarts” JSC (KVTS), “Kizilqumsement” JSC (QZSM), “Kokon Mechanical Plant”JSC (KUMZ), “Uzbekistan Metallurgical Combine” JSC (UZMK), “Almalik Mine-Metallurgical Combine” JSC (AGMK) were obtained. During the analysis, the activity of joint stock companies in the stock market and stock index data from 2017 to 2024 were taken. In order to avoid reducing the level of accuracy of the research due to sudden changes during the pandemic, the research period was divided into pre-pandemic, pandemic, and post-pandemic periods. The Sortino coefficient was used to assess the financial risks of the investment portfolio, and the advantages and disadvantages of using this coefficient were analyzed.
