NXG NextGen Infrastructure Income Fund (NXG) Sharpe Ratio: 2.10

Mutual Fund · Currency in USD · Last updated Jul 16, 2026

The Fund seeks high total return with an emphasis on current income by investing at least 80% of its assets in equity and debt securities of infrastructure companies, including energy, industrial, sustainable, and technology/communication infrastructure sectors. Its strategy focuses on responsible and sustainable investments in companies with inelastic demand, aiming to capitalize on both traditional and digital infrastructure growth opportunities with lower correlation to the broader market.

NXG's Sharpe Ratio of 2.10 indicates that for each unit of volatility, it generates 2.10 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 16, 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.
