I am trying to understand if the Sharpe ratio of a portfolio change if we increase or decrease the number of assets in the portfolio. It would be helpful if you could provide an explanation with references to financial papers.

  • $\begingroup$ the sharpe ratio contains portfolio variance, so that component's dynamics with number of assets is discussed here quant.stackexchange.com/questions/58314/… $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Thanks a lot for your comments. I am running a simple LSTM based method for portfolio optimization and I observed similar sharpe ratios while considering the top k stocks (based on return ratio) which seemed a little unusual. $\endgroup$
