How is your Risk Number calculated?
The Risk Number is an exclusive scaled index created by Riskalyze to signify a "risk score" for an investor's distinct Risk Fingerprint or a specific investment portfolio. Think of a Risk Score like a speed limit sign, where a higher Risk Number corresponds to greater risk and potential return. An investor's Risk Fingerprint encompasses multiple dimensions, capturing the intricacies of their individual risk tolerance, whereas the Risk Number is a single-dimensional variable crafted to estimate relative risk among individuals or portfolios. Therefore, a "45" portfolio generally entails more risk than a "44," although two portfolios both labeled "45" can differ significantly. A key factor influencing the Risk Number is the assessment of downside risk, either within the investor's comfort zone or within a portfolio's 95% probability range, making it a crucial component of the Risk Number calculation.
