¹ Standard Deviation (SD):
Within Core-Plus™, Standard Deviation is measured monthly.
For example, when you see SD = 4.0%, this means that most of the time (8 out of 12 months) the portfolio has gains or losses of no more than 4.0% in a month. This monthly SD can be converted (approximately) to Morningstar’s annual SD by multiplying the SD= value by 3.4 (the square root of 12).

² Maximum Drawdown (MD):
The maximum percentage loss from the highest point to the lowest point during the given period of time.

³ Ulcer Index (UI):
Ulcer Index measures the ability of a portfolio to regain its value from a previous high. It is calculated as the root-mean-square of the areas between highs and the time it takes for the portfolio to reach those highs again. It provides a measure of the magnitude of all of a portfolio’s losses.
