~8 1/2 times more risky?

Just a quick guestimate. If SR = Return / V, where V = variability or volatility or whatever, etc., then in the V = Return / SR.

In the first case, V = 0.09 / 1.1 or 0.0818181.

In the second case, V = 0.14 / 0.2 or 0.7.

So the second case is 0.7 / 0.08181 or about 8.55 times more risky than the 1st....

Seeking some ideas to express an SR comparison. For example, if the SR of a
sector index was 1.1 and its return was 9%, and for the same period the SR
of a Fund was .2 and its return was 14%, how many times more risky was the
Fund than the sector?
