Risk Scaling Factor

The Risk scaling factor is turned off by default and can be enabled in the Display Menu. When first enabled, it shows a factor of 1.0 for each asset's standard deviation, meaning that no adjustments have been made to the result standard deviations.

Changing the value of a risk scaling factor means that the result Standard Deviation for the corresponding asset will be scaled according to the factor provided. This feature is provided as a convenience to include cases where an asset's standard deviation uses a different method to estimate its risk.

Normally it is not recommended to adjust the values of the risk scaling factor or the result standard deviations.
