    Statistical measures to evaluate mutual fund risk. All ratios are calculated for a three-year time duration.
    • Alpha: Excess return of the fund over benchmark
      i
      Any Alpha above zero is considered good. However, for comparison, a fund with a higher Alpha is considered better. Alpha is normally used in conjunction with Beta. If the Beta is high, it implies that the fund manager took a high risk to generate Alpha.

    • R-Squared: How well the fund tracks benchmark
      i

Thus, both Beta and R-Squared should be used in conjunction. A fund with a high R-Squared and low Beta is considered a less risky fund.
