Rhea-AI Filing Summary
JPMorgan provides a July 2026 performance and risk update for the S&P 500® Daily Risk Control 5% Index, a volatility-target strategy that allocates between the S&P 500 and a cash component to target 5% volatility. Volatility is based on exponentially weighted historical returns, and the index is calculated on an excess return basis with a notional financing cost deduction.
From June 2016 through June 2026, the S&P 500 Daily Risk Control 5% Excess Return Index shows a Sharpe Ratio of 0.81, 10-year annualized volatility of 5.06%, and 10-year annualized return of 4.08%. Over one year, its return is 4.77%. This compares with the Domestic 30/70 Portfolio (ER), which has a Sharpe Ratio of 0.46, 10-year volatility of 6.41% and 10-year annualized return of 2.94%, and the Global 30/70 Portfolio (ER), with a Sharpe Ratio of 0.21, 10-year volatility of 6.22% and 10-year annualized return of 1.33%.
The update highlights that all portfolio performance data is partly hypothetical and that past and backtested performance are not indicative of future results. Key risks include the possibility that the index may not meet its 5% volatility target, may be significantly uninvested, and reflects a notional financing cost, with a recently changed methodology for that cost.

Insights
Risk-control index shows moderate risk-adjusted returns versus 30/70 benchmarks.
The S&P 500® Daily Risk Control 5% Index targets 5% volatility by dynamically shifting between S&P 500 exposure and cash, and is calculated on an excess return basis with a notional financing cost tied to the J.P. Morgan Cash Index USD 3 Month. Over the period from June 2016 to June 2026, it delivered a 4.08% 10-year annualized return with 5.06% volatility and a Sharpe Ratio of 0.81, higher than both the Domestic and Global 30/70 excess-return portfolios.
The comparison suggests relatively efficient risk-adjusted performance, but investors rely on partly hypothetical data and must accept that the methodology may cause the index to be significantly in cash or fail to match its 5% volatility target. The notional financing cost, whose calculation methodology was recently changed, directly reduces index levels and is an important driver of net performance over time.
