Values can range from 0 to 1 (0% to 100%).General Range for R-Squared: 70-100% = high explanatory value of the benchmark's returns  40-70% = average explanatory value of the benchmark's returns 0-40% = low explanatory value of the benchmark's returns" Alpha  A measure of performance on a risk-adjusted basis. The risk-adjusted performance is compared to that of a benchmark index and any excess return is Alpha. A positive Alpha of 1.0 indicates the fund outperformed its benchmark by 1%." Beta  A measure of a Fund s volatility, or systematic risk, compared to that of its benchmark. The Beta of the market (benchmark) is 1.0.General Range for Beta: A beta greater than 1.0 indicates the Fund s returns are more volatile than the benchmark s A beta less than 1.0 indicates the Fund s returns are less volatile than the benchmark s A beta of 1.0 indicates the Fund will generate the same level of risk as the market" Standard Deviation  A statistical measurement of dispersion around an average, which represents how widely a Fund's returns varied over a specified time period. It is measured as the square root of variance. A Fund with a standard deviation of 19% and a mean return of 5% over 5 years indicates about 68% of the data values have ranged between -14% and 24% (within one standard deviation of the mean) and about 95% of the data values have ranged between -33% and 43% (within two standard deviations of the mean) Standard deviation is a representation of risk; higher standard deviation represents greater fluctuations in returns than lower standard deviation Glossary of TermsMetropolitan St. Louis Sewer District Defined Contribution PlanAs of June 30, 2012 " Up Capture Ratio  Measures a Fund's performance in up markets relative to a benchmark. A ratio greater than 100% indicates the Fund has outperformed the benchmark during periods of rising markets." Down Capture Ratio  Measures a Fund's performance in down markets relative to a benchmark. A ratio greater than 100% indicates the Fund has underperformed the benchmark during periods of declining markets." Sharpe Ratio  A risk-adjusted performance measure that is used to determine reward per unit of risk. The Sharpe Ratio is calculated by subtracting the risk-free rate from the return (historical or expected) of a portfolio and then dividing the result by the standard deviation of portfolio returns. It is used to standardize performance comparisons given different levels of risk employed across funds." Tracking Error  Tracking error is the standard deviation of the differences between the Fund return and the benchmark return, i.e. the standard deviation of excess returns  Tracking error is a measure of how benchmark-sensitive a Fund is Index funds generally have tracking error between 0 and 1.5% Benchmark-aware Funds generally have tracking error between 2% and 5% Benchmark-agnostic Funds generally have tracking error greater than 6%" Information Ratio (IR)  A risk-adjusted performance measure that calculates the ratio of excess return versus a benchmark divided by the Tracking Error. A higher IR indicates greater risk-adjusted returns and can be used as an indicator of consistencyGeneral Range for Information Ratio: -0.5 to 0.5 A Fund with Alpha of 0.5% and Tracking Error of 4% would have an Information Ratio of 0.125 A Fund with Alpha of 1% and Tracking Error of 4% would have an Information Ratio of 0.25 A Fund with Alpha of 1% and Tracking Error of 8% would have an Information Ratio of 0.125 Information ratios fall in a tight range and are negative if Alpha is negative. Information ratios > 0 indicate positive risk-adjusted performance, and information ratios > 0.25 indicate strong risk-adjusted performanceGlossary of TermsMetropolitan St. Louis Sewer District Defined Contribution PlanAs of June 30, 2012 " Correlation -A statistical measure of how two securities (fund and benchmark) move in relation to each other. Values can range from -1.0 to +1.0 Perfect positive correlation - A coefficient of +1.0; implies a Fund and benchmark move in lockstep, up or down Perfect negative correlation  A coefficient of -1.0; implies a Fund and benchmark move perfectly oppositely, up or down Zero correlation  A coefficient of 0; implies that movements between the Fund and benchmark are random and the change in value of one will have no impact in the change in value of the otherGlossary of TermsMetropolitan St. Louis Sewer District Defined Contribution PlanAs of June 30, 2012 " NEPC uses, as a data source, the plan s custodian bank or service provider for asset balances, calculation of accruals, transfers, exchanges and contribution deferral information.
