Risk Reward Comparison:

This 3-year study compares the risk reward profile for the all markets across eight sectors each along side the S&P 500 index. We define reward as Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) and risk as Maximum Drawdown. Additionally, the current drawdown (shown as a black dot) indicates the markets open sell-off level from its most recent equity high.

Definitions:

  • Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) measures the growth of an investment as if it had grown at a steady rate on an annually compounded basis.
  • Maximum Drawdown measures the largest peak-to-valley loss based on monthly return data.
  • Current Drawdown measures the percent retracement form the most recent equity high.
