Fund statistics are measured against the benchmark where relevant for the 3 year period to latest month end. Alpha is a measure of a funds risk relative to the benchmark. Beta measures the volatility, or systematic risk, of a fund in comparison to the benchmark. Standard deviation, or volatility, measure the dispersion of returns for a fund. Sharpe ratio measures risk-adjusted performance. Information ratio measures risk-adjusted performance relative to the benchmark. R-squared measures the percentage of a fund's movements that are explained by movements in the benchmark.

Small and mid-cap stocks are more volatile than large-cap stocks. There are additional risks associated with international investing, such as currency fluctuations, economic and political instability, and more volatile markets. These risks may be greater in emerging markets. Sector funds are generally not as diversified as most mutual funds, and as a result tend to be more volatile. It is possible to lose money by investing in a money market fund.
