Sharpe Ratio

The Sharpe ratio helps investors understand how much return they're getting for the level of risk taken. A higher Sharpe ratio indicates better risk-adjusted performance, meaning more reward for each unit of risk. Learn how to interpret the Sharpe ratio.

The current FAANG + + CORE Sharpe ratio is 1.22 as of Jul 12, 2026 (the value is recalculated daily), calculated over the past 12 months.
