The number comes mostly from how much the fund&#8217;s price has moved up and down in the past: the bigger the swings, the higher the box.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is a useful way to compare funds at a glance. It does not tell you how long a fall might last, whether you could get your money out quickly, or how the fund fits with everything else you own.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is why we use the same scale for whole portfolios, and set your level from a conversation about your plans, not from a fund&#8217;s past alone.
