Fund Risk Number
The Skandia Fund Risk Number has been calculated by taking the volatility values of all the funds in the relevant fund range and arranging them in ascending order. The ordered volatility range has subsequently been divided into ten segments, each representing 10% of the range. The funds have been placed into the relevant segment, depending on where their volatility numbers fall. Each segment has been colour coded to represent the risk associated with each fund (based on five-year volatility). Where a fund does not have a full 5 years of performance history, the Risk Number for the sector the fund is classified in will be used as a proxy.
