      i
      Risk adjusted return represents the return generated after factoring the risk taken to achieve it.
    • Volatility
      i
      Volatility represents the standard deviation of fund returns that is, how much the fund returns have deviated from the average.
    • Upside Capture Ratio
      i
      Fund performance relative to the index when the market is up. An upside capture ratio of >100 indicates better fund performance.
    • Downside Capture Ratio

    bt_logoHISTORICAL RISK MEASURES

    Statistical measures to evaluate mutual fund risk. All ratios are calculated for a three-year time duration.
    • Alpha: Excess return of the fund over benchmark
      i
