      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.

    • R-Squared: How well the fund tracks benchmark

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.
