IQ Healthy Hearts ETF (HART)

TotalReturn:

'Total return is the amount of value an investor earns from a security over a specific period, typically one year, when all distributions are reinvested. Total return is expressed as a percentage of the amount invested. For example, a total return of 20% means the security increased by 20% of its original value due to a price increase, distribution of dividends (if a stock), coupons (if a bond) or capital gains (if a fund). Total return is a strong measure of an investment’s overall performance.'

• The total return over 5 years of IQ Healthy Hearts ETF is %, which is lower, thus worse compared to the benchmark SPY (98.9%) in the same period.
• Compared with SPY (39.9%) in the period of the last 3 years, the total return, or increase in value of 21.1% is smaller, thus worse.

CAGR:

'The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is a useful measure of growth over multiple time periods. It can be thought of as the growth rate that gets you from the initial investment value to the ending investment value if you assume that the investment has been compounding over the time period.'

• Looking at the compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of % in the last 5 years of IQ Healthy Hearts ETF, we see it is relatively lower, thus worse in comparison to the benchmark SPY (14.8%)
• Looking at annual return (CAGR) in of 6.6% in the period of the last 3 years, we see it is relatively smaller, thus worse in comparison to SPY (11.9%).

Volatility:

'Volatility is a statistical measure of the dispersion of returns for a given security or market index. Volatility can either be measured by using the standard deviation or variance between returns from that same security or market index. Commonly, the higher the volatility, the riskier the security. In the securities markets, volatility is often associated with big swings in either direction. For example, when the stock market rises and falls more than one percent over a sustained period of time, it is called a 'volatile' market.'

• Looking at the 30 days standard deviation of % in the last 5 years of IQ Healthy Hearts ETF, we see it is relatively smaller, thus better in comparison to the benchmark SPY (21%)
• Compared with SPY (17.3%) in the period of the last 3 years, the volatility of 13.9% is lower, thus better.

DownVol:

'Downside risk is the financial risk associated with losses. That is, it is the risk of the actual return being below the expected return, or the uncertainty about the magnitude of that difference. Risk measures typically quantify the downside risk, whereas the standard deviation (an example of a deviation risk measure) measures both the upside and downside risk. Specifically, downside risk in our definition is the semi-deviation, that is the standard deviation of all negative returns.'

• Compared with the benchmark SPY (15%) in the period of the last 5 years, the downside deviation of % of IQ Healthy Hearts ETF is smaller, thus better.
• Looking at downside risk in of 9.8% in the period of the last 3 years, we see it is relatively lower, thus better in comparison to SPY (12.1%).

Sharpe:

'The Sharpe ratio is the measure of risk-adjusted return of a financial portfolio. Sharpe ratio is a measure of excess portfolio return over the risk-free rate relative to its standard deviation. Normally, the 90-day Treasury bill rate is taken as the proxy for risk-free rate. A portfolio with a higher Sharpe ratio is considered superior relative to its peers. The measure was named after William F Sharpe, a Nobel laureate and professor of finance, emeritus at Stanford University.'

• The Sharpe Ratio over 5 years of IQ Healthy Hearts ETF is , which is lower, thus worse compared to the benchmark SPY (0.58) in the same period.
• Looking at ratio of return and volatility (Sharpe) in of 0.3 in the period of the last 3 years, we see it is relatively smaller, thus worse in comparison to SPY (0.54).

Sortino:

'The Sortino ratio, a variation of the Sharpe ratio only factors in the downside, or negative volatility, rather than the total volatility used in calculating the Sharpe ratio. The theory behind the Sortino variation is that upside volatility is a plus for the investment, and it, therefore, should not be included in the risk calculation. Therefore, the Sortino ratio takes upside volatility out of the equation and uses only the downside standard deviation in its calculation instead of the total standard deviation that is used in calculating the Sharpe ratio.'

• Looking at the downside risk / excess return profile of in the last 5 years of IQ Healthy Hearts ETF, we see it is relatively smaller, thus worse in comparison to the benchmark SPY (0.82)
• During the last 3 years, the downside risk / excess return profile is 0.42, which is lower, thus worse than the value of 0.78 from the benchmark.

Ulcer:

'The ulcer index is a stock market risk measure or technical analysis indicator devised by Peter Martin in 1987, and published by him and Byron McCann in their 1989 book The Investors Guide to Fidelity Funds. It's designed as a measure of volatility, but only volatility in the downward direction, i.e. the amount of drawdown or retracement occurring over a period. Other volatility measures like standard deviation treat up and down movement equally, but a trader doesn't mind upward movement, it's the downside that causes stress and stomach ulcers that the index's name suggests.'

• Looking at the Ulcer Ratio of in the last 5 years of IQ Healthy Hearts ETF, we see it is relatively lower, thus better in comparison to the benchmark SPY (9.33 )
• Compared with SPY (8.64 ) in the period of the last 3 years, the Ulcer Ratio of 6.01 is lower, thus better.

MaxDD:

'A maximum drawdown is the maximum loss from a peak to a trough of a portfolio, before a new peak is attained. Maximum Drawdown is an indicator of downside risk over a specified time period. It can be used both as a stand-alone measure or as an input into other metrics such as 'Return over Maximum Drawdown' and the Calmar Ratio. Maximum Drawdown is expressed in percentage terms.'

• Compared with the benchmark SPY (-33.7 days) in the period of the last 5 years, the maximum DrawDown of days of IQ Healthy Hearts ETF is smaller, thus worse.
• Compared with SPY (-22.1 days) in the period of the last 3 years, the maximum DrawDown of -17.2 days is larger, thus better.

MaxDuration:

'The Drawdown Duration is the length of any peak to peak period, or the time between new equity highs. The Max Drawdown Duration is the worst (the maximum/longest) amount of time an investment has seen between peaks (equity highs). Many assume Max DD Duration is the length of time between new highs during which the Max DD (magnitude) occurred. But that isn’t always the case. The Max DD duration is the longest time between peaks, period. So it could be the time when the program also had its biggest peak to valley loss (and usually is, because the program needs a long time to recover from the largest loss), but it doesn’t have to be'

• Looking at the maximum days under water of days in the last 5 years of IQ Healthy Hearts ETF, we see it is relatively lower, thus better in comparison to the benchmark SPY (488 days)
• Compared with SPY (325 days) in the period of the last 3 years, the maximum time in days below previous high water mark of 320 days is lower, thus better.

AveDuration:

'The Drawdown Duration is the length of any peak to peak period, or the time between new equity highs. The Avg Drawdown Duration is the average amount of time an investment has seen between peaks (equity highs), or in other terms the average of time under water of all drawdowns. So in contrast to the Maximum duration it does not measure only one drawdown event but calculates the average of all.'

• Compared with the benchmark SPY (122 days) in the period of the last 5 years, the average days below previous high of days of IQ Healthy Hearts ETF is lower, thus better.
• Looking at average time in days below previous high water mark in of 92 days in the period of the last 3 years, we see it is relatively greater, thus worse in comparison to SPY (89 days).
