Penetrating analysis of over 50 funds

The 350-page Yearbook features full updates and analysis of 50 funds' performance, from the time when they were first reviewed and rated. Following selection by Global Fund Analysis, funds are evaluated under four broad categories:

• Investment style We judge how professionally managers implements their investment style, and how sustainable it appears to be.
• Adviser group We examine the stability of the group and the credentials of the investment managers. If there are signs of instability (eg departures) the group will be marked down.
• Risk management We look for thorough and disciplined risk management. This encompasses business risk, procedure risk and portfolio risk.
• Performance history We examine the performance history within the context of the fund's investment objectives. The evaluation places an emphasis on risk-weighted performance and consistency.
