Generally, value of units or shares of a mutual fund that invests in securities is directly related to the market value of those investments held by the mutual fund. The market value of those investments will go up and down depending on the financial performance of the issuers and general economic, political, tax and market conditions. Standard market risk factors are stock prices, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and commodity prices.

2.2 Definition of Standard Deviation
In statistics and probability theory, standard deviation shows how much variation or "dispersion" exists from the average (mean, or expected value). A low standard deviation indicates that the data points tend to be very close to the mean, whereas high standard deviation indicates that the data points are spread out over a large range of values
2.3 Definition of Coefficient of Varience
The coefficient of variation represents the ratio of the standard deviation to the mean, and it is a useful statistic for comparing the degree of variation from
