This fund has delivered a 5-year annualized total return of 9.63%, and is in the top third among its category peers. Investors who prefer analyzing shorter time frames should look at its 3-year annualized total return of 7.31%, which places it in the middle third during this time-frame.When looking at a fund's performance, it is also important to note the standard deviation of the returns.

JDMAX has a 5-year beta of 1.02, which means it is likely to be as volatile as the market average. Because alpha represents a portfolio's performance on a risk-adjusted basis relative to a benchmark, which is the S&P 500 in this case, one should pay attention to this metric as well.
