What's the FMA risk-indicator range?

Funds in this category carry FMA risk indicators between 4 and 7 on the 1-to-7 standard scale (where 1 is the lowest historical volatility band and 7 the highest), measured across the 85 funds in the category that publish a risk-indicator value. The FMA's risk indicator is a backwards-looking measure of return volatility — it does not predict future loss.
