Portfolio Risk, also known as Portfolio Volatility, shows the potential fluctuation of the expected returns. Your Portfolio Risk can be found in the Portfolio Analysis Report in the Expected Performance (Portfolio) section.
A high portfolio risk means that the returns are expected to be volatile and unstable, so you might suffer losses in bear markets.
For a personalised portfolio, you need to match the portfolio risk with your own risk tolerance.
Portfolio risk is calculated as the standard deviation of the portfolio return, which considers the risk (volatility) of the individual investments, their weights in your portfolio and the granular correlations between pairs of individual investments.
