39 Appendix: Performance Metrics Definitions Standard Deviation measures an investment s volatility or range of outcomes. The total returns of any given investment are expected to be within one standard deviation from its mean return about 68% of the time and within two standard deviations from the mean 95% of the time. Sharpe Ratio measures return per unit of risk. Equal to excess return (average monthly return less average monthly return of 90-day Treasury bill) divided by standard deviation. Downside Capture is the percentage of the return of the benchmark the investment captured when the selected benchmark had a negative return. For example, if the selected benchmark had a -10% return and the investment had 25% downside capture, it would have returned -2.5% during that down period. Beta is a measure of an investment s sensitivity to market movements. A low beta implies that an investment s market related risk is low. Alpha measures a fund s actual returns and its expected performance, given its level of risk (as measured by beta). A positive alpha figure indicates the fund has performed better than its beta predicted. Performance: Imposition of advisory fees and other expenses incurred in the management of an account would cause actual performance to be lower than the performance shown. For example, if the one-year performance before such fees was 10% and the account assessed an annual fee of 1.50% deducted quarterly, the fee would reduce the performance approximately 8.36% annually.
