Este gráfico monocromo muestra la evolución (ventana móvil 1 año) de:
⚫️ Ratio de Sharpe Anualizado (eje izq.): ¿Compensa el riesgo asumido? (Usando Bono Alemán 10A como Rf).
▒ Volatilidad Anualizada (eje der., discontinua): ¡El riesgo puro y duro!

La historia que cuenta: ¡cuando sube la volatilidad (gris), el Sharpe (negro) tiende a caer en picado (a veces bajo cero)! Visualiza la dinámica riesgo-recompensa del índice español en las últimas dos décadas.
