Value Research Risk Grade

The level of risks, their understanding

When you rate a fund on Risk Grade, what does a ‘high’ rating indicate? Does it imply that the fund’s risk management is good? Or that the risk level is high?

The latter is more like it. The Value Research Fund Risk Grade captures the fund’s risk of loss. A high risk rating indicates a higher magnitude of underperformance by the fund as against the risk-free rate of return.
