Beta represents the tendency of the fund’s return to respond to market swings. <1 means the fund has less volatile returns than the index. Correlation measures how two instruments (fund and index) move in relation to each other: +1 is perfect positive cor-relation. R-Squared is a number 0 to 100 representing the percentage of a fund’s movements explained by movements in its index. A high number indicates a more useful beta figure. Standard Deviation is a measurement of investment volatility (up and down) that illustrates how much dispersion there is from the mean. The lower the standard deviation the closer the data points are to the mean (average).
