Risk Rating Breakdown

Our risk rating analyses ISP6 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

Moderate 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%

28/100

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.
