Seminar: Timely Topics for Today’s Business WorldMr. Bernstein Common Risk Measurements: Standard Deviation A measure of the dispersion of a set of data from its mean - the degree to which individual values vary from the distribution mean. The higher the number, the greater the risk. Standard deviation is calculated as the square root of variance. Standard deviation is also known as historical volatility and is used by investors as a gauge for the amount of expected volatility.

The amount of uncertainty or risk about the size of changes in a security's value. A higher volatility means that a security's value can potentially be spread out over a larger range of values. This means that the price of the security can change dramatically over a short time period in either direction. A lower volatility means that a security's value does not fluctuate as dramatically.
