Sharpe ratio is a risk-adjusted measure, calculated using standard deviation and excess return to determine reward per unit of risk. Information Ratio is the quotient of the annualized excess return and the annualized standard deviation of excess return. Up and down capture is a measure of how well a manager can improve on phases of positive benchmark returns, or how badly the manager was affected by phases of negative benchmark returns. The up capture is the quotient of the annualized return of the Fund after dropping all time periods where the benchmark return is zero or negative, divided by the annualized return of the benchmark after dropping similar time periods. The down capture is calculated analogously. For example, up capture of 120.0 and down capture of 80.0 shows that in the past, when the overall market went up, the Fund’s returns increased more than the increase in the market. Correspondingly, when the market went down, the Fund’s returns decreased less than the market. Alpha is a measure of risk (beta)-adjusted return. Beta is the measure of a fund’s relative volatility as compared to its benchmark, where a Beta less than 1 means that the security will be less volatile than the Index and more than 1 means the security will be more volatile than the Index.

Investment philosophy: Drivers of technology valuations
Organic growth potential Does the product solve a pressing problem for
customers? What is the payback period for adopting the technology? What is the “pain of adoption” of the technology? Is management investing in the correct areas for the future?
Barriers to entry What are the barriers to entry – technological, scale, brand, distribution? How strong and sustainable are these barriers? What are management doing to preserve/strengthen these barriers
