GSGDX's Sortino Ratio of 2.07 indicates that for each unit of downside volatility, it generates 2.07 units of excess return. The ratio is calculated using historical daily returns over the past 12 months (as of Jun 3, 2026).
Unlike other measures, Sortino only focuses on downside volatility (losses), making it particularly useful for investors more concerned about protecting against drawdowns than overall price swings.
