When calculating profit fee how is the performance risk (composite) calculated?

The performance risk in calculating a profit fee is typically assessed by measuring the volatility of the investment returns relative to a benchmark or composite index. This involves calculating the standard deviation of the portfolio's returns over a specified period, which reflects the degree of variation in performance. Additionally, the Sharpe ratio, which considers both return and risk, may be used to evaluate how well the portfolio compensates for the risk taken. Overall, a higher performance risk indicates greater variability in returns, influencing the fee structure accordingly.
