Structural portfolio performance measures have the flexibility of gathering risk and return performance into a single value. The most commonly used composite measures are: Trey nor, Sharpe and Jensen measures. While Treynor measures …show more content…
Risk can be measured in terms of Beta and standard deviations.
BETA:
 Beta is calculated by two returns factors relating to security return and market return.
 Beta is a measure of the volatility of a particular fund in comparison to the market as a whole, that is, the extent to which the fund's return is affected by market factors. Beta is calculated using a statistical tool called regression analysis.

 Standard deviation helps to analyze the volatility of the fund. The standard deviation of a fund measures this risk by measuring the degree to which the fund changes in relation to its average return of a fund for a period of time.
 Standard deviation is a calculation of returns of consistency based on mutual fund.
 Standard deviation of higher value should mention that the mutual fund of Net Asset Value is more risk and volatile compared to that of standard deviation of lower value.
