Fund risk measures

The following metrics are calculated using benchmarks provided by Morningstar: Alpha, Beta, R2, Sharpe Ratio, and Standard Deviation. The Morningstar benchmarks may differ from the fund’s reference benchmark as identified in the fund’s management report of fund performance.

Alpha measures the excess returns of a fund relative to an index benchmark. A positive number indicates better performance relative to the benchmark while a negative number means the fund has underperformed relative the index.

Beta measures how likely a fund is to move in relation to an index benchmark. A beta greater than 1 indicates the fund is more volatile than its benchmark while a beta lower than 1 indicates the fund is less volatile than its benchmark.

R2 measures how much of a fund’s movement can be attributed to the movement of its index benchmark. 

Sharpe Ratio measures the amount of return produced by a fund for a given level of risk, referred to as “risk adjusted return.”

Standard Deviation measures volatility and indicates how much a fund’s price has moved (up or down) compared to the long-term mean price of the fund.
