How to read Dhanik risk scores

Using Dhanik

Each Dhanik fund page shows risk two ways: the official SEBI riskometer (Low → Very High) and the hard numbers behind it.

  • Std deviation: how much returns bounce around — higher = wilder.
  • Sharpe ratio: return per unit of risk — higher is better.
  • Beta: how much the fund moves vs its benchmark.
  • Max drawdown: the worst peak-to-trough fall.

Read these together — two funds with the same return can carry very different risk.
