What Is the Sigma Score™ in Investing?

✅ The Sigma Score™ is a single, powerful number that tells you whether your portfolio is structurally sound — or secretly fragile.

It’s not based on guesses, opinions, or forecasts.
It’s built on 12 institutional-grade metrics that evaluate:

📉 Stability (Gamma)

🔄 Resilience (Tau)

Efficiency (Eta)

In one score,

you see how well your portfolio is truly designed to survive —

and thrive — across all market environments.

📉 The Problem: What Most People Get Wrong

Wall Street taught you to judge a portfolio by returns and volatility.

But here’s the truth:

Returns lie.

Volatility hides.

And stress reveals everything.

A portfolio might look fine during calm —

but collapse in chaos.

Traditional metrics don’t tell you how a portfolio behaves under pressure.
They don’t reveal hidden fragility.
And they don’t explain why performance happens —

or whether it will last.

When you can’t measure the structural integrity of a portfolio,

you’re flying blind.

🔁 The Belief Shift

Old Paradigm:  “Past performance and asset mix tell me everything.”


New Paradigm: “A portfolio’s design determines its durability.”

“Don’t just ask how a portfolio performed.

Ask if it’s built to survive.”

🧱 The Structural Explanation

The Sigma Score™ is a composite of three core dimensions:

🛡️ GammaStability

Can your portfolio avoid large, unnecessary damage?

Measured by:
→ Beta, Max Drawdown, Std. Dev., Sharpe, Recovery Burden

🔄 TauResilience

Can your portfolio recover quickly and reliably?

Measured by:
→ Sortino, Omega, Calmar, Time to Recovery

⚙️ EtaEfficiency

Does your portfolio intelligently convert risk into return?

Measured by:
→ Alpha, Treynor Ratio, Information Ratio

Each of these is scored individually —

and then combined into a single Sigma Score™ from 0 to 100.

The higher your Sigma Score™,

the more robust your portfolio is under real-world pressure.

The Sigma Score™ is like a portfolio’s structural health report

revealing what traditional models miss.

📊 Why It Matters

✅ Know exactly where your portfolio is strong or vulnerable

✅ Replace fear and guessing with clarity and confidence

✅ Make smarter decisions under stress

✅ Show clients a system, not a story

“Investors tell us they sleep better when they stop managing returns —

and start managing structure.”
