Risk Section Source: IDS GmbH-Analysis and Reporting Services, an investment analysis and reporting service which is a subsidiary of Allianz SE. This section is based on the actual share class and measures volatility. The different elements comprising this section are explained below. The overall market is represented by the unmanaged index which is the fund's official benchmark in the prospectus. Beta measures the market related volatility of a portfolio. The beta of the market is 1 by definition. A beta greater than 1 indicates that a portfolio's market risk is greater than the overall market's, while a beta less than 1 indicates a lower market risk. It is important to note that having a low market risk does not necessarily imply low volatility. A portfolio may have a low beta while experiencing volatility due to factors independent of the market. R-squared measures the percentage of a portfolio's movements that are explained by movements in the overall market. Standard deviation is an absolute measure of volatility measuring dispersion about an average which, for a mutual fund, depicts how widely the returns varied over a certain period of time.
In the statistics section, P/E Ratio, P/B Ratio and Median Market Cap. are the averages of the P/E, P/B and market capitalization of the issues held by the fund. P/E is a ratio of security price to earnings per share. Typically, an undervalued security is characterized by a low P/E ratio, while an overvalued security is characterized by a high P/E ratio. P/B is a ratio of the security price to the book value; it is used to identify undervalued stocks. Market capitalization is the value of a corporation as determined by the market price of its issued and outstanding common stock. It is calculated by multiplying the number of outstanding shares by the current share price.
