Six Month Risk Reward Profiles
How volatile is your market?
The Risk Reward profiles below are split into eight separate sectors each of which is compared against the S&P 500 Index. The graphic is a simple risk reward scatter chart with risk on the horizontal axis and reward on the vertical axis. Risk is defined as monthly return deviation or volatility … the further to the right the greater the risk. Reward is defined as Compounded Annual Growth Rate or CAGR … the higher the return the greater the reward. Note that the scales for both risk and reward vary for each sector.
