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 Crypto Portfolio Sharpe ratio is 0.46 as of Jul 8, 2026 (the value is recalculated daily), calculated over the past 12 months.

Compared to the broad market, where average Sharpe ratios range from 1.39 to 2.16, 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.

Diversification

AI Analysis


The gist

The portfolio is really three sleeves: global equities, bonds, and crypto. The mathematics say the bond sleeve is doing the real diversification work, while VTI and VXUS are close enough cousins that they mostly argue over the same macro headlines.

The numbers

  • Effective asset count: 3.77 of 5 — respectable, though not the sort of count that makes correlation do much heavy lifting.
  • Diversification ratio: 1.24 at 1Y and 1.40 incept, with the shorter window sitting at the 40.2th percentile and the longer one around the mid-60s percentile; diversification exists, but it is not especially generous.
  • Mean correlation: 0.22, with a tight bond-to-everything else set near zero and a clear equity pair at 0.75.

The good

  • BND sits almost orthogonally to the rest, so the portfolio has a genuine low-correlation anchor rather than merely a different flavor of equity risk.
  • The BTC-USD / ETH-USD pair is internally coherent; the crypto sleeve is one idea, not two unrelated ones.
  • The 5Y and incept DR are better than the 1Y figure, which suggests the diversification picture has not been steadily deteriorating.

The bad

  • VTI and VXUS form a classic overlap cluster; in practice, the portfolio holds two broad equity proxies with a lot of the same risk factors.
  • BTC-USD and ETH-USD are both large enough to matter and correlated enough to behave like one volatile sleeve in stress.
  • The portfolio’s diversification is therefore more about asset class separation than about many independent return engines.

The ugly

  • In an equity drawdown that is also a liquidity event, the equity cluster and the crypto cluster can become friends very quickly, leaving BND as the only serious offset.

Next steps

  • Portfolios with this correlation profile are typically clearer when the equity sleeve is either more explicitly domestic or more explicitly international, rather than both at once.
  • Portfolios with a crypto sleeve this compact often behave as if they have one crypto factor, not two positions.
  • The DR profile would usually improve more from exposures with different earnings drivers than from more names in the same market regimes.
