Performance analysis

Rolling return 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 3 years rolling return chart of this fund shows the fund was always doing good performance, only December 2018 to July 2020 fund was going down side. Now again the fund has come back to the original level.

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.

In the 3 years of the snail trail chart, we can see the fund touched 21.4% in December 2022. It was a massive return touched by the fund. Only a few months fund in negative most of the time fund in positive. 

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 3-6% range considered to be barely active, >6% range considered to be reasonably active and anything higher attributed to concentrated/focused funds. Funds with TE of less than 3% can be considered to be closet indexers.

All time this fund was above 4%, we can see clearly it was barely an active fund.

Information ratio

Information ratio of the fund was under 1, only twice it was going up and touched more than 3% and again it came down.
