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.

ETF Top Alpha Quaterly Sharpe ratios as of Apr 2, 2026 (values are recalculated daily):

  • 1-Year: 0.94
  • 5-Year: 0.45
  • 10-Year: 0.77
  • All Time: 0.75
