Mutual Fund Risk Risk Factors

Value research rating

Value Research Fund Ratings are a composite measure of historical risk-adjusted returns. In the case of equity and hybrid funds this rating is based on the weighted average monthly returns for the last 3 and 5-year periods. In the case of debt funds this rating is based on the weighted average weekly returns for the last 18 months and 3-year periods and in case of short-term debt funds — weekly returns for the last 18 months. These ratings do not take into consideration any entry or exit load. Each category must have a minimum of 10 funds for it to be rated. Effective, July 2008, we have put an additional qualifying criteria, whereby a fund with less than Rs 5 crore of average AUM in the past six months will not be eligible for rating.

Five-stars indicate that a fund is in the top 10% of its category in terms of historical risk-adjusted returns. Four stars indicate that a fund is in the next 22.5%, middle 35% receive three stars, the next 22.5% are assigned two stars while the bottom 10% receive one star. The number of schemes in each category is mentioned alongside the categories name. Equity: Large Cap (47), Equity: Large & Mid Cap (54), Equity: Multi Cap (39), Equity: Mid & Small Cap (51) Equity: Tax Planning (28), Equity: Infrastructure (19), Equity: Banking (10), Hybrid: Equity-oriented (25), Hybrid: Debt-oriented Aggressive (13), Hybrid: Debt-oriented Conservative (41), Hybrid: Arbitrage (15) Debt: income (62), Debt: Gilt Medium & Long Term (32), Debt: Short Term (19), Debt: Ultra Short Term (139), Debt: Liquid (101). These Fund Ratings are as on October 31, 2011.

The Value Research Ratings are published in Monthly Mutual Fund Performance Report and Mutual Fund Insight. The Ratings are subject to change every month. The Rating is based on primary data provided by respective funds; Value Research does not guarantee the accuracy.
