This may be down to the difference between volatility and risk, as bowlhead explained in his first post. I hold Liontrust UK Smaller Companies (a rush of blood before properly considering the bid/offer spread and high management charge) which has a KIID or 4 and an FE of 61. Without looking across the whole smaller companies sector, it may be that they have generally risen very steadily over recent years.

I'm sure you are right but should they all just be called volatility ratings rather than risk scores? - I guess the FE rating also includes max drawdown in some way to but nothing re liquidity??

It's a good point. It's not like they are ambiguous: they clearly say "Lower risk - Typically lower rewards. Higher risk - Typically higher rewards".
