A rigorous six-step process
Starting from a broad universe, we filter step by step down to a focused shortlist within the asset category you choose. Every fund considered is visible, with the reason it advanced or was cut at each stage.
Funds are assessed on 4 core criteria: cost (expense ratio, actual annual charge), performance (3-year compound return, Calmar ratio, Jensen's alpha), consistency (fund and manager tenure), and risk (Beta, Sharpe, Covariance, Volatility). Weightings can be tailored to your objectives and parameters
What you receive
A complete, ready-to-use selection package with full transparency from start to finish.
There are 9 broad category groups - Equity, Allocation, Convertibles, Alternative, Commodities, Fixed Income, Money Market, Property, and Miscellaneous - covering roughly 100 fund categories worldwide.
Below is the full list by group:
The shortlist stage
A ranked list tells you which funds score highest. It doesn't tell you which one to pick. That's what the shortlist stage is for.
Once we have a focused set of candidates, we go into depth on what actually differentiates them - the things that don't show up in headline numbers and that no data platform will surface for you.
- Portfolio concentration Is the fund as diversified as it claims, or is it effectively a concentrated bet in disguise?
- Country allocation In Emerging Markets, for example, India vs. China exposure can define the outcome. We map it across every shortlisted fund.
- Top holdings comparison Where do the funds genuinely differ in their actual positions - and where do they converge more than you'd expect?
- Drawdown behaviour Not just the stat. What drove the drawdown, how did each fund respond, and what does that tell you about the manager?
- Fund house and manager knowledge Track record, team stability, mandate constraints, house views. The context behind the numbers.
