Our achievements

Barron's Methodology: Barron’s rankings are based on asset-weighted returns in five categories — general equity funds; world equity funds (including international and global portfolios); mixed asset funds (which invest in stocks, bonds and other securities); taxable bond funds; and tax-exempt bond funds — as calculated by Refinitiv Lipper. Barron’s Methodology did not include sales charges in calculating returns. Each fund’s return was measured against those of all funds in its Refinitiv Lipper category, resulting in a percentile ranking which was then weighted by asset size, relative to the fund family’s other assets in its general classification. If a family’s biggest funds do well, that boosts its overall ranking; poor performance in its biggest funds hurts a firm’s ranking. To be included in the ranking, a firm must must have had at least three funds in Refinitiv Lipper’s general equity category, one world equity category, one mixed-asset (such as balanced or target-date fund), at least two taxable-bond funds and one national tax-exempt bond fund. Beginning in 2017, previously excluded single-sector and country equity funds are factored into the rankings as general equity. The rankings exclude all passive index funds, including pure index, enhanced index and index-based, but include actively managed ETFs and so-called smart-beta ETFs, which are passively managed but created from active strategies. Finally, the score is multiplied by the weighting of its general classification, as determined by the entire Refinitiv Lipper universe of funds.

Refinitiv Lipper Fund Awards Methodology: The Refinitiv Lipper Fund Awards, granted annually, highlight funds and fund companies that have excelled in delivering consistently strong risk-adjusted performance relative to their peers. The Refinitiv Lipper Fund Awards are based on the Lipper Leader for Consistent Return rating, which is a risk-adjusted performance measure calculated over 36, 60 and 120 months. The fund with the highest Lipper Leader for Consistent Return (Effective Return) value in each eligible classification wins the Refinitiv Lipper Fund Award.
