Standard Deviation value gives an idea about how volatile fund returns has been in
the past 3 years. Lower value indicates more predictable performance. So if you are
comparing 2 funds (lets say Fund A and Fund B) in the same category. If Fund A
and Fund B has given 9% returns in last 3 years, but Fund A standard deviation
value is lower than Fund B. So you can say that there is a higher chance that Fund A
will continue giving similar returns in future also whereas Fund B returns may vary.
Beta value gives idea about how volatile fund performance has been compared to
similar funds in the market. Lower beta implies the fund gives more predictable
performance compared to similar funds in the market. So if you are comparing 2
funds (lets say Fund A and Fund B) in the same category. If Fund A and Fund B has
given 9% returns in last 3 years, but Fund A beta value is lower than Fund B. So you
can say that there is a higher chance that Fund A will continue giving similar returns
in future also whereas Fund B returns may vary.
Sharpe ratio indicates how much risk was taken to generate the returns. Higher the
value means, fund has been able to give better returns for the amount of risk taken. .
It is calculated by subtracting the risk-free return, defined as an Indian Government
Bond, from the fund’s returns, and then dividing by the standard deviation of returns.
For example, if fund A and fund B both have 3-year returns of 15%, and fund A has a
Sharpe ratio of 1.40 and fund B has a Sharpe ratio of 1.25, you can chooses fund A,
as it has given higher risk-adjusted return.
Treynor’s ratio indicates how much excess return was generated for each unit of
risk taken. Higher the value means, fund has been able to give better returns for the
amount of risk taken. It is calculated by subtracting the risk-free return, defined as an
Indian Government Bond, from the fund’s returns, and then dividing by the beta of
returns. For example, if fund A and fund B both have 3-year returns of 15%, and fund
A has a Treynor’s ratio of 1.40 and fund B has a Treynor’s ratio of 1.25, then you can
chooses fund A, as it has given higher risk-adjusted return.
