PONTE VEDRA, FL --(actionList.Pro)-- The Risk Measures panel presents a collection of risk measures associated with the stock ticker symbols and positions included on the $actionList and #Shares panels. Based on the most recent 252 sessions, or approximately one year, they are:


  • aLP Sigma (σ) - Standard deviation of daily returns. A statistical measure used to quantify the dispersion of returns around the average return. Higher (Lower) standard deviations imply a higher (lower) level of return volatility, and suggest a greater (lower) level of risk.
  • aLP Beta (β) - A given stock's Beta coefficient helps specify its risk relative to the stock market. The overall stock market's Beta may be considered as 1.00. Stocks with Beta values greater (less) than 1.00 are seen as riskier (less risky) than the overall stock market. E.g., a stock with a Beta coefficient of 1.20 has historically produced returns (and losses) of 1.20 times those of the overall stock market.
  • aLP Sharpe Ratio (𝒮) - The Sharpe ratio assesses a given security's excess return relative to the standard deviation of excess returns. Loosely speaking, it specifies return per unit of risk. The higher the Sharpe ratio, the more efficiently a given security has been at producing returns relative to the level of associated risk.
  • aLP Historical VaR - Historical VaR is used to help estimate a given position's potential greatest loss over a given period of time, with a given level of confidence. aLP's Historical VaR measure is based on 252 daily sessions, and a 99% level of confidence. E.g., For a given position, a VaR of $1,000.00 suggests that, based on historical data one might expect worse than a one day loss of $1,000.00 on 1 out of 100 days. This risk measure is only calculated for stock ticker symbols that are paired with a share count.

The aLP risk measures are presented in the familiar table format that features sortable columns, making rankings and relative comparisons easy. As with the Allocations panel, the table's stock ticker symbols are linked to the related companies' home pages. See Image 1. It is important to keep in mind that the risk measures are based on 252 sessions of historical data, and that past results are not an indication of future results.
