This data is subject to change on a daily basis.

P/E Ratio is a harmonic weighted average and is equal to a security’s market capitalization divided by its after-tax earnings over the most recent 12-month period.

P/B Ratio is a harmonic weighted average and is equal to a security’s market capitalization divided by its book value.

Alpha is a statistical measurement that depicts the performance difference between a fund's return and an underlying performance benchmark, given a fund’s level of volatility, measured by beta. The benchmark will always reflect an alpha of 0.00%. A positive alpha indicates a fund has performed better than its beta would predict in the stated period. Data displayed is for the previous 3 year period.

Beta is the measure of a fund's sensitivity to the Index. By definition, the beta of the Index is 1.00. Any fund with a higher beta is more volatile than the Index. Likewise, any portfolio with a lower beta will be less volatile than the index in the stated period. Data displayed is for the previous 3 year period.

Standard deviation is a statistical measurement that depicts how widely returns vary over a given period of time. The measurement is generally used to understand the range of returns that are most likely for a given portfolio. Generally, a higher standard deviation indicates a more risky portfolio. This is computed by using the trailing monthly total returns for the appropriate time period. Monthly standard deviations are then annualized. Data displayed is for the previous 3 year time period.

Average Market Capitalization is the geometric mean of the market capitalizations for all the securities in a fund’s portfolio.
