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.

BIL GDRM Sharpe ratios as of Jun 6, 2026 (values are recalculated daily):

  • 5-Year: 1.21
  • All Time: 1.16
