Ratio Analysis

	Fund
Annualised Return It is a measure that converts rates of returns of any length into annual rates of returns
Annualised Standard Deviation It measures the volatility of the fund. The higher the percentage, the riskier is the fund
Beta It measures how a fund's share price moves in relation to a benchmark. The benchmark index has a beta of 1. A beta greater than 1 means the fund tends to rise and fall more than the index does. A beta less than one means the fund tends to be less volatile than the index
Alpha It is the excess return of the fund relative to the return of the benchmark index. Simply, it is the value that a portfolio manager adds to or subtracts from a fund's return. A positive alpha of 1.0 means the fund has outperformed its benchmark index by 1%. Correspondingly, a similar negative alpha would indicate an underperformance of 1%
Information Ratio This ratio is used to evaluate the returns a fund manager achieved in comparison to the benchmark, given the risk they take on
Sharpe Ratio This ratio measures the reward per unit of risk. The Sharpe ratio tells us whether the returns of a portfolio are due to smart investment decisions or a result of excess risk. This measurement is very useful because although one fund can reap higher returns than its peers, it is only a good investment if those higher returns do not come with too much additional risk. The higher the ratio the better is the fund
