SGI Index Backtest: 2005–2026

The SGI formula applied to historical data (BIS, IMF, ECB). The SGI measures systemic fragility — the higher the score, the greater the impact when a shock hits the system. Before every major crisis, the SGI was already rising.

Historical data: BIS, IMF WEO, ECB SDW, OECD. Calculated using the same SGI formula (45% Financial, 35% Structural, 20% Social). Estimates before 2020 have an error margin of ±2-3 points.

The SGI doesn't predict crash dates — but measures systemic fragility. The higher the SGI when a shock hits, the deeper the impact. With a low SGI (1987: ~34), the market recovered quickly. With a high SGI (2008: 54+), recovery took years.

The current global SGI stands at ~65.2 — higher than before the 2008 crisis. The system is more fragile than it was then. What does this mean for your portfolio?
