AHB, that’s a good point I didn’t think of that when I first read it, they are trying to evaluate performance…even though Downside Deviation could be part of the evaluation process to calculate return/risk ratio, it can’t be “directly” used to evaluate performance on a standalone basis.
are we supposed to know formulae for these? or just the uses(s) are ok
u need to know it all else you get 0

Look in the indices of each of the six volumes of the CFA Institute curriculum; if they’re not listed, you don’t need to know them.
(Hint: you don’t.)
