The fund had given the maximum excess return in comparison to its peers; but has dropped to below the first quartile over the past 1 year.

Performance analysis 

Rolling returns in quartiles

The rolling return chart shows excess 3-year annualised returns in context of peer return quartiles. The blue line’s time above the third green median line indicates the fund’s better than median performance.

The Rolling returns show that the fund was above the third green median line in January 2016 but now in June 2023 it is neutral meaning it is going with the third median green line.


Rolling risk/return (Snail-trail) 

The rolling risk/return chart shows excess 3-year annualised returns relative to the index. The top left quadrant would indicate higher returns with lower volatility than index.

This fund has shown good 3-year excess returns, touching 6.83% per annum and a significant time around the 1-3% pa, whilst lower than index volatility of 2-3% pa. However, the excess return came down to around -4.89% in September 2018.

Tracking error

The tracking error chart shows how the fund ‘tracks’ against the index. The higher the TE, the more active the fund’s return has been, with the 2-4% range considered to be barely active, 4-6% range considered to be reasonably active and anything higher attributed to concentrated/focused funds. Funds with TE of less than 2% can be considered to be closet indexers.

The tracking error was around 4.50%-6.50% from January 2016 to January 2020 which means it was too active but from January 2021 to January 2023 it’s between 2-4% which is barely active.

Information ratio

The information ratio is a measure of ‘risk-adjusted return’ as it’s the excess return per unit of excess volatility. Active funds should have IR of higher than 1, ideally higher than 1.3 at least to indicate skill. 

The information ratio was at its peak in June 2019 which was 3 but then there was a downfall and now in June 2023 it is 0.56 which is not ideal.
