When we work with people to come up with an effective investment strategy, one of the key tools that can help understand and manage the ups and downs of the market is the concept of standard deviation. In this episode, Wade breaks down this crucial metric and explains its significance in investing.
Standard deviation is a statistical measure that quantifies the amount of variation or dispersion of a set of values. In the context of investing, it helps measure how much the returns of an investment fluctuate from its average over time.
