BlackRock Advantage International Fund Class K (BROKX) Sharpe Ratio: 1.40

Mutual Fund · Currency in USD · Last updated Jul 21, 2026

The BlackRock Advantage International Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing at least 80% of its assets in equity securities or other financial instruments that are components of, or have market capitalizations similar to, the securities included in the MSCI EAFE Index.

BROKX's Sharpe Ratio of 1.40 indicates that for each unit of volatility, it generates 1.40 units of excess return above the risk-free rate. The ratio is calculated using historical daily returns over the past 12 months (as of Jul 21, 2026).

Sharpe uses total volatility (standard deviation) which includes both upside and downside price movements, making it useful for comparing risk-adjusted returns across different assets. For how to read this number and when it can mislead, see Sharpe Ratio Explained.
