Risk

Details

Risk in the table below refers to the fund’s volatility. The standard deviation shows how much the fund’s returns fluctuate. Higher SD values mean more ups and downs. The Sharpe ratio tells us how much return the fund delivers for each unit of risk taken. Ideally, we want to see a positive Sharpe ratio, indicating we're being rewarded for the risk. Whether a low or high standard deviation is preferable depends on your investment horizon and risk tolerance, younger investors may be more comfortable with higher volatility in pursuit of higher returns.
