What Is the Sigma Score™ and

What Does It Measure?

The Sigma Score™ is a complete portfolio health diagnostic —

a single number that tells you how structurally sound your portfolio is.

It doesn’t just measure performance.
It measures whether your portfolio can survive.

Using 12 institutional-grade metrics, it evaluates three core traits:
Stability (Gamma), Resilience (Tau), and Efficiency (Eta)

then synthesizes them into a single, intuitive score from 0–100.

Because what matters isn’t how much your portfolio makes…
It’s whether it can hold up when it matters most.

📉 The Problem: What Most People Get Wrong

Wall Street taught us to look at performance.
To chase alpha.
To focus on past returns.

But here’s the truth:

Return ≠ strength.
Sharpe ratio ≠ safety.
And a “balanced” portfolio ≠ resilient.

Most portfolios look good on paper —

until stress hits.
Because they’ve been optimized for outcome… not integrity.

And when fragility is invisible,
You don’t know there’s a problem until it’s too late.

🔁 The Belief Shift

Old Paradigm: “Risk is volatility. Strength is return.”


New Paradigm: “True health is structural — and it can be measured.”

“You can’t fix what you don’t measure.
And most investors have no idea what their portfolio is really made of.”

The Sigma Score™ makes the invisible visible.

🧱 The Structural Explanation

The Sigma Score™ is a behavioral-first, preparation-based diagnostic

that evaluates your portfolio’s:

1. Stability (Gamma):
Can your portfolio stay upright in turbulence?
→ Metrics: Beta, Standard Deviation, Max Drawdown, Recovery Burden, Sharpe, Sortino

2. Resilience (Tau):
Can your portfolio recover after being hit?
→ Metrics: Calmar Ratio, Information Ratio, Time Lost in Recovery, Risk-Adjusted Return

3. Efficiency (Eta):
Is your portfolio working intelligently — or just taking risks?
→ Metrics: Alpha, Treynor, Omega, Return Consistency

All three scores are synthesized into one unified signal:
The Sigma Score™.

✅ Scores range from 0–100
✅ Easy to interpret
✅ Backed by data — but human-friendly
✅ Built to reveal where and why your portfolio may break

You don’t get guesswork.
You get clarity.

📊 Why It Matters

Without the Sigma Score™:

  • You might be relying on outdated ratios

  • You don’t know how fragile your portfolio really is

  • You can’t compare or improve without a benchmark

With the Sigma Score™:

  • You see the truth of your portfolio’s structure

  • You pinpoint weaknesses before they cost you

  • You gain the power to optimize — without the guesswork

“Once I saw my Sigma Score™,

I realized I didn’t have a portfolio —

I had a performance trap.”

👥 Who This Is For

For investors who want control, not confusion:
If you’ve ever felt uncertain about how your portfolio would hold up in a crash —

the Sigma Score™ gives you the truth in one clear number.

For fiduciary advisors who want to protect clients (and themselves):
If you’ve been stuck explaining volatility instead of revealing structure,

this is your new standard of proof.
