Alpha measures the difference between a fund's actual returns and its expected performance, given its level of risk. A positive alpha figure indicates the fund has performed better than its beta would predict.

Beta measures a fund's sensitivity to market movements. A fund with a 1.10 beta is expected to perform 10% better than the market in up markets and 10% worse in down markets.

R-squared measures how closely a fund's performance correlates with the performance of a benchmark index. An R-squared of 100 means that a fund's performance is perfectly correlated with the benchmark index.

Standard deviation measures performance fluctuation — generally the higher the standard deviation, the greater the expected volatility of returns. These measures of past risk are not completely or necessarily representative of future risk and cannot predict a fund’s performance.

All data is based on the 3-year period and is calculated using the S&P Composite 1500 Banks Index. The S&P Composite 1500 Banks Index is an unmanaged index of banking sector stocks in the S&P 1500 Index.

What You Should Know

Investments concentrated in one industry may fluctuate more widely than investments diversified across industries. Foreign investments carry additional risks, including currency fluctuations, differences in accounting standards and political instability. The Fund may be considered a vehicle for diversification, but, on its own, does not represent a well-balanced investment program. The Fund may not be appropriate for all investors.
