​
Understanding Your Risk Profile

Sprout uses three main risk profiles:

​
Steady (Score 0-40)

  • Best for: Predictable, consistent growth
  • Characteristics: Minimal APY fluctuations, stable daily returns
  • Example: 10-15% annual returns with smooth, predictable growth

​
Balanced (Score 40-75)

  • Best for: Moderate variance with opportunity capture
  • Characteristics: Some APY variance week-to-week
  • Example: Returns ranging 12-18%, averaging higher than Steady

​
Opportunistic (Score 75-100)

  • Best for: Maximum yield optimization
  • Characteristics: Significant APY swings to capture best opportunities
  • Example: Daily APY might range 8-25%, highest long-term returns
Higher risk scores don’t mean higher risk of losing funds. They reflect your comfort with APY fluctuations, not principal risk. All profiles use the same vetted, secure protocols.
