Definition: return is annualised; risk is annualised standard deviation. As of: see individual observation Source: Monetary Authority of Singapore SGS yield dataset Coverage: 7 eligible sovereign instruments.

This scatterplot compares individual observations. The envelope is not an optimised portfolio frontier; no covariance matrix or portfolio weights are estimated. The slope is illustrative, not a capital market line. The fixed hurdle is a comparison assumption, not a current risk-free quote.

The vertical axis uses stored SGS yields, not realised holding-period returns. These inputs are illustrative and must not be interpreted as directly comparable to historical equity returns. Risk fields are the existing page-level duration-volatility inputs; the common MPT display applies a 3.00% annual hurdle.
