At present, we are analyzing over 1,200 mutual and hedge funds on a monthly basis. Each month, we put these funds through a rigorous quantitative screen to help us determine which funds are in our opinion, the best, most consistent funds.

We look at how each fund has performed on a monthly basis for each of the past 60 months. We then compare how well the fund performed relative to its benchmark. Not only do we look at the performance of a fund, we also pay special attention to the risk of that fund. The funds which show consistent, stable performance, both absolutely and relative to their benchmark, with the least amount of risk, rank the highest.  

If you would like to know more about the quantitative information we consider when analyzing a fund, please click here , and a glossary of terms will open will open in a new browser window.

Once that quantitative ranking is complete, we perform some additional qualitative analysis to finalize our Mutual Fund Universe Rankings.

Below are the top 5 funds in 5 of our broad categories.
