    Fund evaluation across critical parameters for better decision making. Study period is 3 years.
    • Consistency
      i
      It represents the consistency of a fund in beating its benchmark.
      ----
    • Downside Risk
      i
      Measured by Maximum Drawdown which shows the maximum loss from a peak to a nadir over a specified time period
      ----
    • Risk Adjusted Return
      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
      i
      Fund performance relative to the index when the market is down. A downside capture ratio of <100 indicates better fund performance.

    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
      Any Alpha above zero is considered good. However, for comparison, a fund with a higher Alpha is considered better. Alpha is normally used in conjunction with Beta. If the Beta is high, it implies that the fund manager took a high risk to generate Alpha.

      Category Avg
    • R-Squared: How well the fund tracks benchmark
      i
      R-Squared measures the correlation of fund returns and its benchmark returns. It varies between 0 and 1. The metric, Beta makes no sense if R-Squared is equal to zero. Thus, both Beta and R-Squared should be used in conjunction. A fund with a high R-Squared and low Beta is considered a less risky fund.

    • Beta: Risk of the fund in relation to benchmark
      i
      Beta >1 indicates that the fund is more volatile than its benchmark while Beta < 1 indicates that the fund is less volatile than its benchmark. The Beta of the benchmark is equal to 1.

    • Sharpe Ratio: Risk adjusted return of the fund
      i
      Sharpe Ratio is a measure of return per unit of risk. A higher Sharpe ratio indicates better risk adjusted return given by the fund.

    • Sortino Ratio: Return per unit of bad risk
      i
      A variation of Sharpe ratio, Sortino considers only the downside risk. Unlike Sharpe ratio which considers both good risk and bad risk, Sortino factors only the bad risk. A high Sortino ratio indicates better return for each unit of downside risk.
