Abstract
To circumvent the limitations of the tests for coefficients of variation and Sharpe ratio, we develop the mean-variance-ratio statistic to test for the equality of the mean-variance ratios. We prove that our proposed statistic is uniformly most powerful unbiased. In addition, we provide the reasonings of using our proposed test statistic.
Keywords: Coefficient of variation, Sharpe ratio, mean-variance ratio, test statistic, hypothesis testing, uniformly most powerful unbiased test
