Harbor Mid Cap Value Fund (HAMVX) Sharpe Ratio: 2.67

Mutual Fund · Currency in USD · Last updated Jun 24, 2026

The fund invests primarily in equity securities, principally common stocks, of mid cap companies. Under normal market conditions, it invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, in securities of mid cap companies. The Subadviser's active investment strategy uses a quantitative investment model to evaluate and recommend investment decisions for the fund in a bottom-up, contrarian value approach.

HAMVX's Sharpe Ratio of 2.67 indicates that for each unit of volatility, it generates 2.67 units of excess return above the risk-free rate. The ratio is calculated using historical daily returns over the past 12 months (as of Jun 24, 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.
