To obtain the risk-adjusted score, asset-weighted monthly returns of all funds that met the above criteria were calculated. Weighing the performance of the scheme on the basis of its fund size helps in giving due weightage to each fund size. Then, the annual geometric mean for the five-year period was calculated to arrive at the annualized five-year return. In addition, the annual standard deviation of the monthly asset-weighted return was calculated.
