The Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT) Statistics section shows the Sharpe, Standard Deviation, Alpha, Beta and R2 statistics for the item. Modern Portfolio Theory statistics - statistical calculations applied to an investment strategy that seeks to construct an optimal portfolio by considering the relationship between risk and return. Sharpe ratio is a risk-adjusted measure calculated using standard deviation and excess return to determine reward per unit of risk. The higher the Sharpe ratio, the better the fund's historical risk-adjusted performance. Standard Deviation measures a fund's range of total returns and identifies the spread of a fund's short-term fluctuations. It is useful when comparing the volatility of funds with different objectives. Alpha is a coefficient measuring the risk-adjusted performance, considering the risk due to the specific security, rather than the overall market. A positive alpha indicates that the manager has been successful at security selection and has produced a rate of return which is more than commensurate with the security's risk posture. Beta coefficient is a measure of a security's volatility relative to the market. An index relevant to the security's stated investment category is used as the proxy for the market, and is considered to have a 1.00 Beta. Therefore, if a security has a Beta of 1.50, it has been historically 50% more volatile than the market for the period shown. R-squared is the percentage of a fund's movements explained by movement in its benchmark index. Values of r-squared range from 0 to 1, where 0 indicates no correlation and 1 indicates perfect correlation.
