I think it would only "make sense" if it agreed with the computation of the
Sharpe Ratio for the entire portfolio of funds.

Of course, the latter might be simpler to calculate.

I don't know how your computed Sharpe ratio will be used, but to
evaluate a portfolio of mutual funds, I think it is better to compute
the Sharpe ratio of the portfolio returns, which would give proper
credit to portfolios of funds with low correlations to each other.

Default Dollar weighted Sharpe ratio - make sense?

Does a dollar weighted Sharpe ratio calculated for a portfolio of mutual
funds make sense for a point in time? The Sharpe ratio for each fund
would be used in the weighting.
