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.

SCHD/VYM/VONG/BND/KMLM Sharpe ratios as of May 11, 2025 (values are recalculated daily):

  • 1-Year: 0.37
  • All Time: 0.72

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 0.41 to 0.94, this portfolio's current Sharpe ratio places it in the bottom 25%.
