The peer group is divided into four equal quartiles and shows how a fund has performed compared to the funds in the group. The top 25% of funds are 1st quartile, the next 25% of funds are 2nd, the next group are 3rd and the 25% with the poorest performance are 4th. Peer groups are defined to compare similar mutual funds.
