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.

vug garp spgp Sharpe ratios as of Apr 2, 2026 (values are recalculated daily):

  • 1-Year: 0.80
  • 5-Year: 0.57
