The danger of trading Western Asset High is mainly related to its market volatility and ETF specific events. As an investor, you must understand the concept of risk-adjusted return before you start trading. The most common way to measure the risk of Western Asset is by using the Sharpe ratio. The ratio expresses how much excess return you acquire for the extra volatility you endure for holding a more risker asset than Western Asset. The Sharpe ratio is calculated by using standard deviation and excess return to determine reward per unit of risk. To understand how volatile Western Asset High is, you must compare it to a benchmark. Traditionally, the risk-free rate of return is the rate of return on the shortest-dated U.S. Treasury, such as a 3-year bond.
