In mathematical terms, beta represents the slope of the line through a regression of data points where each of these points represents Foreign mutual fund's returns against your selected market. In other words, Foreign Bond's beta of -0.11 provides an investor with an approximation of how much risk Foreign Bond mutual fund can potentially add to one of your existing portfolios. Foreign Bond Fund exhibits very low volatility with skewness of -0.21 and kurtosis of 0.26. Understanding different market volatility trends often help investors to time the market. Properly using volatility indicators enable traders to measure Foreign Bond's mutual fund risk against market volatility during both bullish and bearish trends. The higher level of volatility that comes with bear markets can directly impact Foreign Bond's mutual fund price while adding stress to investors as they watch their shares' value plummet.

Foreign standard deviation measures the daily dispersion of prices over your selected time horizon relative to its mean. A typical volatile entity has a high standard deviation, while the deviation of a stable instrument is usually low. As a downside, the standard deviation calculates all uncertainty as risk, even when it is in your favor, such as above-average returns.
Standard Deviation | 0.41 |
It is essential to understand the difference between upside risk (as represented by Foreign Bond's standard deviation) and the downside risk, which can be measured by semi-deviation or downside deviation of Foreign Bond's daily returns or price. Since the actual investment returns on holding a position in foreign mutual fund tend to have a non-normal distribution, there will be different probabilities for losses than for gains. The likelihood of losses is reflected in the downside risk of an investment in Foreign Bond.
Foreign Bond Mutual Fund Volatility Analysis
Volatility refers to the frequency at which Foreign Bond fund price increases or decreases within a specified period. These fluctuations usually indicate the level of risk that's associated with Foreign Bond's price changes. Investors will then calculate the volatility of Foreign Bond's mutual fund to predict their future moves. A fund that has erratic price changes quickly hits new highs, and lows are considered highly volatile. A mutual fund with relatively stable price changes has low volatility. A highly volatile fund is riskier, but the risk cuts both ways. Investing in highly volatile security can either be highly successful, or you may experience significant failure. There are two main types of Foreign Bond's volatility:
Historical Volatility
This type of fund volatility measures Foreign Bond's fluctuations based on previous trends. It's commonly used to predict Foreign Bond's future behavior based on its past. However, it cannot conclusively determine the future direction of the mutual fund.Implied Volatility
This type of volatility provides a positive outlook on future price fluctuations for Foreign Bond's current market price. This means that the fund will return to its initially predicted market price. This type of volatility can be derived from derivative instruments written on Foreign Bond's to be redeemed at a future date.Transformation |
The output start index for this execution was zero with a total number of output elements of sixty-one. Foreign Bond Average Price is the average of the sum of open, high, low and close daily prices of a bar. It can be used to smooth an indicator that normally takes just the closing price as input.
Foreign Bond Projected Return Density Against Market
Assuming the 90 days horizon Foreign Bond Fund has a beta of -0.1065 indicating as returns on the benchmark increase, returns on holding Foreign Bond are expected to decrease at a much lower rate. During a bear market, however, Foreign Bond Fund is likely to outperform the market.Most traded equities are subject to two types of risk - systematic (i.e., market) and unsystematic (i.e., nonmarket or company-specific) risk. Unsystematic risk is the risk that events specific to Foreign Bond or PIMCO sector will adversely affect the stock's price. This type of risk can be diversified away by owning several different stocks in different industries whose stock prices have shown a small correlation to each other. On the other hand, systematic risk is the risk that Foreign Bond's price will be affected by overall mutual fund market movements and cannot be diversified away. So, no matter how many positions you have, you cannot eliminate market risk. However, you can measure a Foreign fund's historical response to market movements and buy it if you are comfortable with its volatility direction. Beta and standard deviation are two commonly used measures to help you make the right decision.
Foreign Bond Fund has a negative alpha, implying that the risk taken by holding this instrument is not justified. The company is significantly underperforming the Dow Jones Industrial. Predicted Return Density |

What Drives a Foreign Bond Price Volatility?
Several factors can influence a fund's market volatility:Industry
Specific events can influence volatility within a particular industry. For instance, a significant weather upheaval in a crucial oil-production site may cause oil prices to increase in the oil sector. The direct result will be the rise in the stock price of oil distribution companies. Similarly, any government regulation in a specific industry could negatively influence stock prices due to increased regulations on compliance that may impact the company's future earnings and growth.Political and Economic environment
When governments make significant decisions regarding trade agreements, policies, and legislation regarding specific industries, they will influence stock prices. Everything from speeches to elections may influence investors, who can directly influence the stock prices in any particular industry. The prevailing economic situation also plays a significant role in stock prices. When the economy is doing well, investors will have a positive reaction and hence, better stock prices and vice versa.The Company's Performance
Sometimes volatility will only affect an individual company. For example, a revolutionary product launch or strong earnings report may attract many investors to purchase the company. This positive attention will raise the company's stock price. In contrast, product recalls and data breaches may negatively influence a company's stock prices.Foreign Bond Mutual Fund Risk Measures

About Foreign Bond Volatility
Volatility is a rate at which the price of Foreign Bond or any other equity instrument increases or decreases for a given set of returns. It is measured by calculating the standard deviation of the annualized returns over a given period of time and shows the range to which the price of Foreign Bond may increase or decrease. In other words, similar to Foreign's beta indicator, it measures the risk of Foreign Bond and helps estimate the fluctuations that may happen in a short period of time. So if prices of Foreign Bond fluctuate rapidly in a short time span, it is termed to have high volatility, and if it swings slowly in a more extended period, it is understood to have low volatility.

Foreign Bond Suggested Diversification Pairs
Pair trading is one of the very effective strategies used by professional day traders and hedge funds capitalizing on short-time and mid-term market inefficiencies. The approach is based on the fact that the ratio of prices of two correlating shares is long-term stable and oscillates around the average value. If the correlation ratio comes outside the common area, you can speculate with a high success rate that the ratio will return to the mean value and collect a profit.
The effect of pair diversification on risk is to reduce it, but we should note this doesn't apply to all risk types. When we trade pairs against Foreign Bond as a counterpart, there is always some inherent risk that will never be diversified away no matter what. This volatility limits the effect of tactical diversification using pair trading. Foreign Bond's systematic risk is the inherent uncertainty of the entire market, and therefore cannot be mitigated even by pair-trading it against the equity that is not highly correlated to it. On the other hand, Foreign Bond's unsystematic risk describes the types of risk that we can protect against, at least to some degree, by selecting a matching pair that is not perfectly correlated to Foreign Bond Fund.
