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.

FAANG Portfolio Sharpe ratios as of Apr 2, 2026 (values are recalculated daily):

  • 1-Year: 0.97
  • 5-Year: 0.64
  • 10-Year: 0.96
  • All Time: 1.02

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 1.01 to 1.70, 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 within the FAANG group. The correlation matrix reveals that all individual positions are positively correlated, with coefficients ranging from 0.42 to 0.66 among the stocks. This indicates that the stocks generally move in the same direction, which limits the benefits of diversification within the portfolio.

There are no pairs of stocks with extremely high correlations (above 0.8), which would have signaled redundancy and poor diversification. However, the relatively high correlations between GOOG and AMZN (0.66), META and GOOG (0.63), and META and AMZN (0.61) suggest some clustering of similar risk factors or market drivers among these positions, slightly reducing diversification benefits.

NFLX shows the lowest correlations with other stocks (0.42 to 0.52), providing some diversification value within the portfolio by behaving somewhat differently compared to the others.

The portfolio’s correlation with individual positions ranges from 0.70 (AAPL) to 0.82 (AMZN), indicating that AMZN has the strongest influence on the portfolio’s overall movement. This suggests that AMZN is a dominant position in terms of its impact on portfolio returns and risk.

Overall, the portfolio is concentrated within a specific sector and style, with moderate diversification benefits mostly coming from NFLX’s relatively lower correlations. The absence of low or negative correlations limits risk reduction, so the portfolio is better described as concentrated with moderate internal diversification rather than broadly diversified.
