what if you had just entered all the 3 portfolios just before the drops in Mar or during just before the recent minor corrections?
imagine IF there is no gain yet (profit is 0%).
which one would have dropped more?
the 10% or the 36% one?
in general theory understanding the 10% would gain lesser than the 36% in good period where all the various asset classes increased at the same time amid different rate.
depending on the reasons for corrections or the reasons for the drops.....some asset class will not drop but increases.....but some times ALL of them can dropped together too amid different rates. (Mar 2020, i think FI, EQ, GOLD and OIL ..... ALL affected))
if one had just started to accumulate a little bits of the gains or waiting to accumulate the gains and if so happens all the mkts corrected....the all the portfolios also kena.
thus the 10% portfolio which are heavy in FI thus would have gained lesser than the 36% portfolio during the "Good" period......
the accumulated gains of the 10% portfolio would be easily wiped out during FI sell out.
just like those that bought some RHB FI UT funds sometimes back.....
during a bond default, the losses had wiped out many months of accumulated gains of those FI UT funds.
for those new investors that kena hit...will say, "Celaka one...FI ut can loss more than some equities funds i had in a short period"

Which StashAway Risk Index Should You Choose?
The SRI is derived from a common risk metric, Value-at-Risk (VaR). VaR measures the likelihood of a potential loss on your portfolio. Basically, it preemptively answers the question, “How much could I possibly lose on my investment in any given year?”
https://www.stashaway.my/r/which-stashaway-...ould-you-chooseI understand that. It's just something to me I would also have the "Gain return ratio" as part of the matrix of risk. As you shown Stashaway risk index only measures returns and losses but not the ratio.
