Beta: A comparison of a fund’s share-price fluctuations to those of an index. The beta of an
index is 1.00. The share price of a fund with a beta of 1.20 will rise or fall 12% when the index
rises or falls 10%. For this report, beta is based on returns over the past 36 months. A fund's
beta should be reviewed in conjunction with its R-squared. A lower R-squared means less
correlation between the fund and the index, and the less reliable beta will indicate volatility.
R-Squared: A measure of how much of a fund’s past returns can be explained by the returns
from the market in general, as measured by a given index. If a fund’s total returns were precisely
synchronized with an index’s returns, its R-squared would be 1.00. If the fund’s returns bore no
relationship to the index’s returns, its R-squared would be 0.
