price/earnings (P/E) ratio

The share price of a stock divided by its per-share earnings over the past year or, for a portfolio, the weighted average P/E ratio of the stocks in the portfolio. P/E is a good indicator of market expectations about a company's prospects; the higher the P/E, the greater the expectations for future earnings growth.

price/book ratio

The price per share of a stock divided by its book value (i.e., net worth) per share. For a portfolio, the ratio is the weighted average price/book ratio of the stocks it holds.

Historical volatility measures

As-of date

beta

A measure of the magnitude of a portfolio's past share-price fluctuations in relation to the ups and downs of the overall market (or appropriate market index). The market (or index) is assigned a beta of 1.00, so a portfolio with a beta of 1.20 would have seen its share price rise or fall by 12% when the overall market rose or fell by 10%. At Vanguard, beta is based on returns over the past 36 months for both the fund and the index.

1.00

R-squared

A measure of how much of a portfolio's performance can be explained by the returns from the overall market (or a benchmark index). If a portfolio's total return precisely matched that of the overall market or benchmark, its R-squared would be 1.00. If a portfolio's return bore no relationship to the returns of the market or benchmark, its R-squared would be 0. At Vanguard, R-squared is based on returns over the past 36 months for both the fund and the index.
