Average Maturity: Weighted average maturity of the securities in scheme.
Macaulay Duration (Duration): Macaulay Duration (Duration) measures the price volatility of fixed income securities. It is often used in the comparison of interest rate risk between securities with different coupons and different maturities. It is defined as the weighted average time to cash flows of a bond where the weights are nothing but the present value of the cash flows themselves. It is expressed in years. The duration of a fixed income security is always shorter than its term to maturity, except in the case of zero-coupon securities where they are the same.
Portfolio Yield (Yield To Maturity): Weighted average yield of the securities in a scheme portfolio.
Total Expense Ratio (TER): Total expenses charged to scheme for the month expressed as a percentage to average monthly net assets.
Growth and Cumulative option: Growth and Cumulative words are used alternatively.
Risk ratio data: There are few stocks which are having abnormal price to earnings multiple, because of the aberration (Covid-19) in the financial results (of the base year), it is prudent to remove the abnormal price to earnings multiples from the weighted average calculation of P/E. We believe the price to book multiple is a better indicator of the business valuation especially in this kind of abnormal situations.
Portfolio Turnover Ratio: Portfolio Turnover Ratio is the percentage of a fund’s holdings that have changed in a given period. This ratio measures the fund’s trading activity, which is computed by taking the lesser of purchases or sales and dividing it by average monthly net assets.
Tracking Error: Tracking error indicates how closely the portfolio return is tracking the benchmark index return. It measures the deviation between portfolio return and benchmark index return. A lower tracking error indicates portfolio is closely tracking benchmark index and higher tracking error indicates higher deviation of portfolio returns from benchmark index returns.
Risk Free Return: The theoretical rate of return of an investment with safest (zero risk) investment in a country.
