Category Rank Average Return

R-squared - This compares a fund’s performance to a given index. If R-squared is 100, the fund moves in lockstep with the index

to which it is being compared. Generally, a higher R-squared will indicate a more useful beta figure. If the R-squared is lower,

then the beta is less relevant to the fund's performance.

Beta - This compares a fund’s volatility to a given index. If beta is greater than 1, the fund is more volatile than the index to which

it is being compared. If beta is lower than 1, the fund is less volatile than the index. If a fund’s R-squared is low, beta is less

reliable as a predictor of volatility.

Alpha - This is a measure of risk-adjusted performance. The higher a fund's alpha, the better it has done. A fund’s alpha is only

reliable when its R-squared is relatively high.

Standard Deviation - The higher this number is, the more volatile the fund’s returns have been. It indicates how much the fund

has deviated from its mean total return over the past three years.

Sharpe Ratio - This measure combines standard deviation and mean total return to show a risk-adjusted measure of the fund's

performance. The higher this number is, the better. As a rule of thumb, a Sharpe ratio of more than 1.00 is very good.
