How to pick a strategy

At shüts we have a bunch of strategies that user can pick. This is both good and bad at the same time as its hard to pick one over the other, that is why we have shüts risk assessment quiz to filter it down for you. You can take the free assessment here. Once you are done with your risk assessment you will see this section on the page that helps you with one or more strategy on the platform that matches your risk tolerance and investor behaviour. Based on the summary metrics above it seems like an easy pick for me to use shüts Atom instead of ADM. The annualized returns are higher with a lower drawdown, thus making it easy. But there is a third factor that would need to be considered access to the asset class.

TL;DR CAGR: Annualized returns over multiple years, smoothens the returns Max Drawdown: The most that an investment has fallen from its all-time high. Annualized Volatility: The % of upswings and downswings that an investment has gone through over multiple years.  Sharpe: A measure of return for each unit of risk taken by an investor.
