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.

GPT2 Sharpe ratios as of Apr 4, 2026 (values are recalculated daily):

  • 1-Year: 1.40
  • 5-Year: 0.67
  • 10-Year: 0.60
  • All Time: 0.63

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 0.99 to 1.69, this portfolio's current Sharpe ratio falls between the 25th and 75th percentiles. This indicates that its risk-adjusted performance is in line with the majority of portfolios, suggesting a balanced approach to risk and return—likely suitable for a wide range of investors.

The chart below shows the rolling Sharpe ratio of GPT2 compared to the selected benchmark. This view highlights how the investment's risk-adjusted performance has changed over time.
