Volatility ratings
The volatility rating of an investment-linked fund is an indicator of how much the fund price might vary relative to other funds. The higher the volatility rating, the less stable the fund price is likely to be. You can use this to help you decide how much risk you're comfortable taking with your investments.

We allocate ratings using the judgement of our experts taking into account data on:
* how the fund price has varied from month to month in the past, relative to other funds available
* how investments in similar asset classes vary from month to month and the investment policy of the fund
