Mutual funds
Also called: Standard deviation, Volatility
Volatility is how much an investment's returns swing around their average, usually measured as the annualised standard deviation of returns. A higher number means a bumpier ride; it does not say which direction the next move will take.

No. Volatility describes a fund's costs, structure or past record. Mutual fund investments are subject to market risks, and past performance does not indicate future returns.
