Sta-Dev of benchmark usually not easy to find, however, Pub-Mut, despite my criticism, has a very good internal data that, unfortunately less than 1% of UTC knows or will ever use it.
I get the Benchmark Sta-Dev from their internal data which they update quarterly to calculate Modigliani. It is only given to UTC and I bet if you ask any regular Pub-Mut UTC, they will give you a blank look. Even finding someone who knows what is a Sharpe is difficult. The data supplied by Pub-Mut is 3 years annualised. That is what you get when Pub-Mut decided to do UT biz like MLM style.
At first I wanted to write how I do the pay-out for my client, but I decided not too... called it trade secret, something for me to keep on cari-makan.
Actually it goes along the line of Pink Spider's line of thinking with some minor tweeks here and there.
J.passing.by, it is not so complicated.

so your benchmark portfolio is one of pub mutual UT?
I learned about Sharpe ratio from a finance unit that I took. I am using it as another factor when considering different UT, other than their consistency in yearly returns. I am using the straight up Sharpe ratio that is usually given in the fund fact sheet.

But then again... 450K in an FD in MBSB or BR... is also perpetual, depending on expenditure.
Rm450,000 x 4.5% = Rm1,687 a month. Not too hard to survive either considering, but of course UT is usually more than that, and we always want more profit out of it

If average inflation is around 3% a year. Today's 2k would worth 5.8k when I retire. Crazy.
