The goal of investing is to maximize your returns while minimizing the risk. So given some level of risk you are willing to accept (your risk profile), you want to maximize the return for that risk. Based on your desired expected risk and return, you need to choose an investing strategy accordingly.
The goal of portfolio performance evaluation is to figure out whether your current investment strategy is working. That is, whether your return is appropriate to the risk of your portfolio relative to some common benchmarks / whether you are not taking unnecessary risk given your returns or on the other hand, if your return is high enough given your portfolio risk.
