Definitions Average Market Cap ($M): Morningstar defines the overall "size" of a stock fund's portfolio as the geometric mean of the market capitalization for all of the stocks it owns. It's calculated by multiplying the stock s portfolio weight by the natural log of the market cap. The results for each stock are summed and divided by sum of the portfolio weights, and then the exponential of the resulting number is taken. Alpha: Alpha measures a fund s performance after adjusting for the fund s systematic risk as measured by the fund s beta with respect to its benchmark index. An investor could have formed a passive portfolio with the same beta as that of the fund by investing in the index and either borrowing or lending at the risk-free rate of return. Alpha is the difference between the average excess return on the fund and the average excess return on the levered or de-levered index portfolio. For example, if the fund had an average excess return of 6% per year and its beta with respect to the S&P 5 was.8 over a period when the S&P 5 s average excess return was 7%, its alpha would be 6%-.8*7%=.4%. There are limitations to alpha s ability to accurately depict a fund s added or subtracted value. In some cases, a negative alpha can result from the expenses that are present in the fund s figures but are not present in the figures of the comparison index. The usefulness of alpha is completely dependent on the accuracy of beta. If the investor accepts beta as a conclusive definition of risk, a positive alpha would be a conclusive indicator of good fund performance. Beta: Beta is a measure of a fund s sensitivity to movements in its benchmark index. By construction, the beta of the index is 1.. A fund with a 1.1 beta has tended to have an excess return that is 1% higher than that of the index in up markets and 1% lower in down markets, holding all other factors remain constant. A beta of.85 would indicate that the fund has performed 15% worse than the index in up markets and 15% better in down markets. A low beta does not imply that the fund has a low level of volatility, though; rather, a low beta means only that the fund s index-related risk is low. A specialty fund that invests primarily in gold, for example, will usually have a low beta (and a low R-squared), as its performance is tied more closely to the price of gold and gold-mining stocks than to the overall stock market. Thus, although the specialty fund might fluctuate wildly because of rapid changes in gold prices, its beta will be low. Correlation: This indicates the strength and direction of a linear relationship between two random variables. The value will range between -1 and 1. A value of 1 indicates a perfect positive dependency and -1 indicates a perfect negative dependency between the 2 investments. A correlation value of indicates that no relationship between the 2 investments exist, and are said to be independent of each other. The correlation between two investments can be determined based on the returns of the investments or the excess returns of the investments over a risk-free rate. Information Ratio: Information ratio is a risk-adjusted performance measure. The information ratio is a special version of the Sharpe Ratio in that the benchmark doesn't have to be the risk-free rate. The Israelson method is an adjustment of the Information Ratio to take into account the inconsistency of the IR when excess returns are negative. Net Assets - Average: This is a 12-month trailing average as of the Annual Report's date. If this data is not available in the Annual Report, a 12-month average is calculated using surveyed net assets. Max Drawdown: The peak to trough decline during a specific record period of an investment or fund. It is usually quoted as the percentage between the peak to the trough. Morningstar Rating: The Morningstar Rating brings loadadjustments, performance (returns) and risk together into one evaluation. To determine a fund's star rating for a given time period (three, five, or 1 years), the fund's risk-adjusted return is plotted on a bell curve: If the fund scores in the top 1% of its category, it receives 5 stars (Highest); if it falls in the next 22.5% it receives 4 stars (Above Average); a place in the middle 35% earns 3 stars (Average); those lower still, in the next 22.5%, receive 2 stars (Below Average); and the bottom 1% get only 1 star (Lowest). The Overall Morningstar Rating is a weighted average of the available three-, five-, and 1-year ratings. Morningstar Style Box: The Morningstar U.S. Equity Style Box is a grid that provides a graphical representation of the investment style of stocks and portfolios. It classifies securities according to market capitalization (the vertical axis) and 1 growth and value factors (the horizontal axis) and allows us to provide analysis on a 5-by-5 Style Box as well as providing the traditional style box assignment, which is the basis for the Morningstar Category. Style Box assignments begin at the individual stock level. Morningstar determines the investment style of each individual stock in its database. The style attributes of individual stocks are then used to determine the style classification of stock portfolios. P/B Ratio: The weighted average of the price/book ratios of all the stocks in a portfolio. The P/B ratio of a company is calculated by dividing the market price of its stock by the company s pershare book value. Stocks with negative book values are excluded from this calculation. In theory, a high P/B ratio indicates that the price of the stock exceeds the actual worth of the company's assets, while a low P/B ratio indicates that the stock is a bargain. All P/B ratios greater than 75 are capped at 75 for the calculation. P/E Ratio: A fund s price/earnings ratio can act as a gauge of the fund s investment strategy in the current market climate, and whether it has a value or growth orientation. Companies in those industries enjoying a surge of popularity tend to have high P/E ratios, reflecting a growth orientation. More staid industries tend to have low P/E ratios, reflecting a value orientation. Morningstar generates this figure in-house on a monthly basis, based on the most-recent portfolio holdings submitted by the fund and stock statistics gleaned from our internal U.S. equities databases. Negative P/Es are not used, and any P/E greater than 6 is capped at 6 in the calculation of the average. R-squared: R-squared is another statistic that is produced by a least-squares regression analysis. R-squared is a number between and 1% that measures the strength of the relationship between the dependent and independent variables. An R-squared of means that there is no relationship between the two variables and an R-squared of 1% means that the relationship is perfect with every scatter point falling exactly on the regression line. Thus, stock index funds that track the S&P 5 index will have an R-squared very close to 1%. A low R-squared indicates that the fund s movements are not well explained by movements in the benchmark index. An R- squared measure of 35%, for example, means that only 35% of the fund s movements can be explained by movements in the index. R-squared can be used to ascertain the significance of a particular beta estimate. Generally, a high R-squared will indicate a more reliable beta figure. R-squared ranges from (perfectly uncorrelated) to 1 (perfectly correlated). Correlation (p) is the square root of R-squared. Sharpe Ratio: A risk-adjusted measure developed by Nobel Laureate William Sharpe. It is calculated by using standard deviation and excess return to determine reward per unit of risk. The higher the Sharpe Ratio, the better the fund's historical riskadjusted performance. The Sharpe ratio is calculated for the past 36-month period by dividing a fund's annualized excess returns by the standard deviation of a fund's annualized excess returns. Since this ratio uses standard deviation as its risk measure, it is most appropriately applied when analyzing a fund that is an investor's sole holding. The Sharpe Ratio can be used to compare two funds directly on how much risk a fund had to bear to earn excess return over the risk-free rate. Standard Deviation: A statistical measurement of dispersion about an average, which, for a mutual fund, depicts how widely the returns varied over a certain period of time. Investors use the standard deviation of historical performance to try to predict the range of returns that are most likely for a given fund. When a fund has a high standard deviation, the predicted range of performance is wide, implying greater volatility. Standard deviation is most appropriate for measuring risk if it is for a fund that is an investor's only holding. The figure cannot be combined for more than one fund because the standard deviation for a portfolio of multiple funds is a function of not only the individual standard deviations, but also of the degree of correlation among the funds' returns. If a fund's returns follow a normal distribution, then approximately 68 percent of the time they will fall within one standard deviation of the mean return for the fund, and 95 percent of the time within two standard deviations. Morningstar computes standard deviation using the trailing monthly total returns for the appropriate time period. All of the monthly standard deviations are then annualized. Tracking Error: Tracking error is a measure of the volatility of excess returns relative to a benchmark. Turnover Ratio: US SEC measures the portfolio manager s trading activity by taking the lesser of purchases or sales (excluding all securities with maturities of less than one year) and dividing by average monthly net assets. A turnover ratio of 1% or more does not necessarily suggest that all securities in the portfolio have been traded. In practical terms, the resulting percentage loosely represents the percentage of the portfolio s holdings that have changed over the past year. Page 4 of 5
