Risk Rating Breakdown

Our risk rating analyses AMAL using 4 weighted factors. A higher score indicates higher risk. This is a framework for understanding exposure — concentrated funds can still be doing exactly what they're meant to do.

Overall Risk Rating
55
Elevated RISK
Data Coverage: 83%
Factor Framework
Holdings Concentration
How much of the fund sits in its largest positions? Few dominant names mean returns ride on those companies.
Market Exposure
Geographic, sector and cyclical dependencies. High single-country or single-sector weight increases macro sensitivity.
Volatility
Historical price movement, beta and drawdowns — how sharply the fund moves relative to the market.
Income Reliability
How dependable the distribution yield is — cyclical-sector dependency and unusually high yields can flag payout risk.

🎯 Holdings Concentration

Weight: 25%
48/100

How much of the fund sits in a small number of positions? If the top holdings dominate, returns will be driven by those specific companies rather than the broader index.

🌍 Market Exposure

Weight: 25%

How dependent is the fund on a single country, sector or economic cycle? Heavy exposure to one market means a single macro event can drive most of the return.
