Let’s understand what is risk-adjusted returns?

For investors, what matters is how much return is generated per unit of risk. This is because, while many products generate returns in long term, but, investors seldom get benefit owing to the extreme volatile patterns of these returns where investors tend to lose confidence during bad times and do not remain invested. So, those portfolios amongst top 5 best performers as per CAGR, that also show relatively less volatility in returns or take less per unit of risk are considered as winners.
