In addition to calculating multi-period returns, the Performance Analysis report can be used to derive multi-period risk and risk adjusted return statistics.
The report in the following figure shows the arithmetic average return over time along with the standard deviation of the single-period returns used to calculate the average, for both the fund and its comparison benchmark.
The report's return fields are Performance Analysis and Performance Link Analysis fields, but the standard deviation added to the report uses the Performance Risk Analysis field type. See the following figure.
