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 funds rolling return chart shows that the fund has not performed quite well, and is below the lower quartile.


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.

The snail trail chart is not great, but is in harmless section of the chart. The fund has almost always been in the negative excess return with negative risk. Though negative excess return is not a great result for a MF, but at least the fund has not taken any risk for it.

 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.

TE of the fund has been between 2-5% throughout and then had a drastic fall to 0.

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 of the fund shows a good progress in 2017-2019 but then now it is not that ideal.
