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.

Crypto Portfolio Sharpe ratios as of Apr 1, 2026 (values are recalculated daily):

  • 1-Year: 0.55
  • 5-Year: 0.37
  • 10-Year: 1.35
  • All Time: 1.57

These values reflect how efficiently the investment has delivered returns relative to its volatility over different time periods. All figures are annualized and based on daily total returns (including price changes and dividends).

Compared to the broad market, where average Sharpe ratios range from 0.97 to 1.64, this portfolio's current Sharpe ratio places it in the bottom 25%. This suggests weaker risk-adjusted returns than most portfolios, possibly due to lower returns, higher volatility, or both. It may be worth reviewing the allocation. You can use the Portfolio Optimization tool to explore options for improving the Sharpe ratio.

AI Insight on Diversification


The portfolio is moderately diversified but leans toward concentration in its cryptocurrency holdings. The correlation matrix reveals that BTC-USD and ETH-USD are highly correlated with each other (0.65), and both have very strong correlations with the overall portfolio (0.81 and 0.91 respectively). This indicates that these two crypto assets dominate the portfolio’s behavior and significantly influence its risk and return profile.

In contrast, the traditional asset classes—BND (bonds), VTI (U.S. stocks), and VEA (international stocks)—show very low correlations with the cryptocurrencies (ranging from 0.03 to 0.18). These low correlations suggest that these positions provide some diversification benefits by reducing the portfolio’s overall sensitivity to crypto market swings. However, the correlations among the traditional assets themselves are higher, particularly between VTI and VEA (0.76), indicating less diversification within the equity portion of the portfolio.

The portfolio’s correlation with BND is quite low (0.06), which means bonds contribute to diversification and risk mitigation. The moderate correlations with VTI and VEA (both 0.33) show that equities have a smaller but meaningful influence on the portfolio compared to cryptocurrencies.

Overall, while the inclusion of bonds and equities adds diversification, the portfolio remains heavily influenced by the crypto positions, making it more concentrated and potentially more volatile. The dominance of BTC and ETH correlations with the portfolio suggests that risk management should focus on these assets, as their performance largely drives the portfolio’s outcomes.
