    • Volatility
      i
      Volatility represents the standard deviation of fund returns that is, how much the fund returns have deviated from the average.

    bt_logoHISTORICAL RISK MEASURES

    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
