	Style Analysis - Returns-based Style Analysis
		Style analysis uses a quadratic minimization procedure that minimizes the difference in monthly return performance between the mutual fund's performance and a set of portfolio weights for the style indices under consideration.
		Style analysis is the construction of this set of portfolio weights for the style indices such that the portfolio style or composition best mimics the actual portfolio composition of the mutual fund being investigated.
		Returns-based style analysis suggests that a manager’s investment style, both past and present, may be determined by comparing the manager’s returns to the returns of a number of selected passive style indices.
