Yusr GCC Equity Fund
Benchmark
Al Yusr GCC Equity Fund Fact Sheet Glossary Net Asset Value (NAV) Value of an investment fund unit corresponding to the market value of the fund’s assets on a set reference date, minus liabilities and divided by the number of units outstanding. Benchmark Index against which an investment fund’s performance is measured. Also called a reference index. Alpha Alpha measures the difference between a portfolio’s actual returns and its benchmark’s return. A positive alpha means the fund has outperformed its benchmark. A negative alpha means that the fund has underperformed the benchmark. CAGR The year-over-year growth rate of an investment over a specified period of time. The compound annual growth rate is calculated by taking the nth root of the total percentage growth rate, where n is the number of years in the period being considered. Sharpe ratio The sharp ratio expresses how much higher (or lower) a return an investor can expect compared to the risk-free rate of interest (e.g. interest rates on savings accounts) per unit of risk (volatility). The risk-free rate of interest varies from currency to currency. Volatility A statistical measure of the dispersion of returns for a given security or market index. Volatility can be measured by using the standard deviation. Commonly, the higher the volatility, the riskier the security. Treynor Ratio A ratio developed by Jack Treynor that measures returns earned in excess of that which could have been earned on a riskless investment per each unit of market risk. The Treynor ratio is calculated as: (Average Return of the Portfolio - Average Return of the Risk-Free Rate) / Beta of the Portfolio Tracking Error A divergence between the price behavior of a position or a portfolio and the price behavior of a benchmark. Correlation A measure of the degree to which the price trends of various investment categories or instruments move in the same direction. The correlation quantifies the strength of the relationship as a figure between -1 and +1. The closer the coefficient is to 1, the stronger the correlation. If the coefficient is -1, the investments and the benchmark move in opposite directions. If the value is 0 , there is no correlation . Beta A measure of risk which indicates the sensitivity of an investment, such as an investment fund, to fluctuations in the market, as represented by the relevant benchmark. For example, a beta of 1.2 tells us that the value of an investment fund can be expected to change by 12% if the market is forecast to move by 10%. The relation is based on historical data and is only an approximation . However, the closer the correlation between the benchmark and the investment fund, the better this approximation. Information ratio Measures a fund manager’s success of active portfolio management. Quotient of the mean relative return and the standard deviation of relative return (tracking error). Information ration is usually annualized.
