 Alpha - Alpha measures the difference between an investment's actual performance, and its expected performance as indicated by the returns of a selected market index. A positive Alpha indicates
 the risk-adjusted performance is above that index. In calculating Alpha, Standard Deviation (total risk) is used as risk measure. Alpha is often used to judge the value added or subtracted by a
 manager.

 Batting Average - Batting Average is sometimes known as the probability of success. This measures the frequency with which a manager performs better than a selected Market Index. It is
 computed by dividing the number of positive excess returns by the total number of excess returns during the period.

 Beta - Beta is defined as a Manager's sensitivity to market movements and is used to evaluate market related, or systematic risk. Beta is a measure of the linear relationship, over time, of the
 Manager's returns and those of the Benchmark. Beta is computed by regressing the Manager's excess returns over the risk free rate (cash proxy) against the excess returns of the Benchmark over
 the risk free rate. An investment that is as equally volatile as the market will have a Beta of 1.0; an investment half as volatile as the market will have a Beta of 0.5; and so on. Thus, Betas higher
 than 1.0 indicate that the fund is more volatile than the market.

 Calmar Ratio - The Calmar Ratio is a risk/return ratio that calculates return on a downside risk adjusted basis. Similar to other efficiency ratios it balances return in the numerator per unit risk in the
 denominator. In this case risk is characterized by the Maximum Drawdown.

 Correlation (R) - The Correlation represents the degree to which investments move in tandem with one another and is a critical component of diversified portfolio construction. The Correlation varies
 between a minimum of -1 (move in opposite direction) and a maximum of 1 (completely correlated).  Lower Correlations enhance diversification and lead to better risk-adjusted returns within
 diversified portfolios. An R of less than 0.3 is often considered low Correlation.
 Distribution of Excess Returns - Distribution of Excess Returns displays an arrangement of statistical data that exhibits the frequency of occurrence of the investment's returns in excess of the
 selected Market Index.
 Down Market (Mkt) Capture Ratio - Down Market Capture Ratio is a measure of an investment's performance in down markets relative to the market itself.  A down market is one in which the
 market's return is less than zero. The lower the investment's Down Market Capture Ratio, the better the investment protected capital during a market decline. A negative Down Market Capture Ratio
 indicates that an investment's returns rose while the market declined.

 Downside Risk (Semi Standard Deviation, Semi StdDev, or Downside Deviation)  - Downside Risk only identifies volatility on the down side.  Downside Risk measures the variability of returns
 below zero, whereas Standard Deviation attributes volatility in either direction to risk. The Downside Risk method calculates the deviations below zero for each observed return. Each time a return
 falls below zero, the sum is divided by the number of observations and the square root is taken. This result is then shown on an annualized basis.
 Excess - Denotes that a statistic is being measured relative to the Market Index selected.  The data set analyzed consists of the periodic differences between the investment's measure and the
 selected Market Index's definition.
 Fund Summary - This table shows the fund's fundamental characteristics.
 Information Ratio - The Information Ratio is a measure of value added by an investment manager. It is the ratio of (annualized) excess return above the selected Market Index to (annualized)
 Tracking Error. Excess return is calculated by linking the difference of the manager's return for each period minus the selected Market Index return for each period, then annualizing the result.
 Kurtosis - Kurtosis describes whether the series distribution is peaked or flat and how thick the tails are as compared to a normal distribution. Positive kurtosis indicates a relatively peaked
 distribution near the mean and tends to decline rapidly and have fat tails. Negative kurtosis indicates a relatively flat distribution near the mean. If there are fewer than four data points, or if the
 standard deviation of the series equals zero, Kurtosis will appear as N/A.
 Loss Ratio - The Loss Ratio is a downside risk-adjusted performance statistic. Similar to the Information Ratio, the Loss Ratio calculates return per unit of risk, except that in this case, risk is
 represented by downside risk.
 Manager Capture Ratio - The Manager Capture Ratio is manager return divided by the selected Market Index return.  It shows what portion of the market performance was captured by the manager
 under certain market conditions: up market, down market, or both.
 Max Drawdown - Is the maximum loss incurred by a portfolio during a specified time period.  It is used to measure the 'worst case scenario' of investing in a portfolio at the worst possible time.
