The danger of trading Inverse Government Long is mainly related to its market volatility and Mutual Fund 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 Inverse Government 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 Inverse Government. The Sharpe ratio is calculated by using standard deviation and excess return to determine reward per unit of risk.
