R-squared tooltip: R-squared is a measure of the correlation between a particular return and that of a benchmark index. A measure of 100 indicates that all of the return can be explained by movements in the benchmark. Generally the higher the R-squared measure, the more reliable the beta measurement will be. | 93 |
Alpha tooltip: Alpha is a measure of the difference between a portfolio's actual returns and its expected results, given its level of risk as measured by beta. A positive alpha figure indicates the portfolio has performed better than its beta would predict. In contrast, a negative alpha indicates the portfolio has underperformed, given the expectations established by beta. | 0.04 |
Beta tooltip: Beta relatively measures sensitivity to market movements over a specified period of time. The beta of the market (represented by the benchmark index) is equal to 1; a beta higher than 1 implies that a return was more volatile than the market. A beta lower than 1 suggests that a return was less volatile than the market. Generally the higher the R-squared measure, the more reliable the beta measurement will be. | 0.62 |
Information ratio tooltip: The information ratio represents the excess return generated (over the market) per unit of relative risk as measured by tracking error. | 0.81 |
Downside capture ratio tooltip: Ratio of a fund/model/composite's return during periods when the index was down, divided by the return of the index during those periods. For example, during periods when the index was down, a down-capture ratio greater than 100 indicates the fund/model/composite produced a lower return than the index. | 123 |
Upside capture ratio tooltip: Ratio of a fund/model/composite's return during periods when the index was up, divided by the return of the index during those periods. For example, an up-capture ratio greater than 100 indicates the fund/model/composite produced a higher return than the index during periods when the index was up. | 121 |
Tracking error tooltip: The tracking error is the standard deviation of the difference between the returns of an investment and its benchmark. | 3.16 |
S&P 500 correlation tooltip: Correlation describes the strength of the association between a return and a benchmark. Correlation is shown on a scale from 1 to -1. The higher the positive correlation, the more closely the return and the benchmark moved relative to one another. The lower the negative correlation, the more the return and the benchmark diverged from one another. | 0.62 |
MSCI ACWI correlation tooltip: Correlation describes the strength of the association between a return and a benchmark. Correlation is shown on a scale from 1 to -1. The higher the positive correlation, the more closely the return and the benchmark moved relative to one another.
