Volatility meter
The volatility meter uses methodology recommended by the Fund Risk Classification Task Force of the Investment Funds Institute of Canada. The Task Force prescribes risk assessment based on historical volatility risk as measured by the standard deviation of fund performance. The Task Force also acknowledges that other types of measurable and nonmeasurable risk may exist. The Task Force reminds investors that historical performance may not be indicative of future returns and a fund’s historical volatility may not be indicative of future volatility.
