Background
Fund volatility refers to the measure of how much a fund’s value or returns fluctuate over a given period. It helps investors understand the potential ups and downs they may experience when investing in a particular fund.
The above is an example of a Fund Volatility Ratings that would be visible on the upper right-hand side of the Fund Fact Sheet.
Volatility is usually calculated based on historical data and is represented as a number or rating. A higher volatility indicates that the fund’s returns have experienced larger swings, both positive and negative, while lower volatility suggests a steady pace of value changes that may translate to stable returns.
Investors can utilise fund volatility rating when making investment decisions as it can provide insights into the potential risks and rewards associated with a fund. A highly volatile fund may offer the possibility of higher returns but also carries a greater risk of losses. On the other hand, a less volatile fund may provide more stability but with potentially lower returns.
The key to understanding the fund volatility ratings by investors is crucial so that they are able to assess their risk tolerance and choose investments that align with their financial goals and comfort level. It is important to note that fund volatility rating is just one factor to consider alongside other investment considerations, such as investment objectives, time horizon, diversification etc.
