It is important to note that the fund risk number for an individual fund may be higher or lower than that for the sector that the fund is in, as the sector represents the average of all funds in that sector, whereas an individual fund may be some way from the average.

Volatility (standard deviation)

Volatility is a statistical method that measures how much a series of values move up and down around its average. The higher the volatility number, the less consistent the historical performance has been.

Fund Risk Number

The Fund Risk Number has been calculated by taking the absolute volatility values of all the funds in the relevant fund universe and arranging them in ascending order. The ordered volatility range has subsequently been divided into ten segments, each representing 10% of the range. The funds have been placed into the relevant segment, depending on where their volatility numbers fall. Each segment has been colour coded to represent the risk associated with each fund(based on five-year volatility). The Fund Risk Number will not be shown for funds with less than 5 years of performance history.

Sector Risk Number

The Sector Risk Number has been calculated by arranging all the sectors in volatility order which has been calculated over five years. The entire volatility range has been divided into ten segments, each representing 10% of the range. The sectors have been placed into the relevant segment, depending on where their volatility numbers fall. Each segment has been colour coded to represent the risk associated with each sector(based on five-year volatility). The Sector Risk Numbers will be calculated monthly. Significant changes in volatility may result in changes to risk numbers.

Quartile Rank

Quartile Rank is a rating of performance on a scale of 1 to 4, where 1 is best and 4 is worst. The entire performance range of a sector is divided into 4, each quartile rank corresponding to 25 percent of the range.
