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.

401K US World Growth Sharpe ratios as of Apr 2, 2026 (values are recalculated daily):

  • 1-Year: 0.98
  • 5-Year: 0.58
  • All Time: 0.73

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).
