Fund People - Who's Top?

Who runs your fund is hugely important to the success of your investments. In this section you will find Financial Express's Alpha Manager Rating which allows you to see the fund managers who have the best risk-adjusted performance records.

 

Who's Top is very easy to use - you will find a table of fund managers and their funds, ordered by their performance over the last year. Alpha Manager awards are based on 3 components: risk adjusted alpha, consistent outperformance of the overall benchmark and out/underperformance consistency in up and down markets.

 

Over 1000 managers have been analysed for this rating. After the exclusions, this falls to below 1000 (see Alpha Manager Ratings for more information on exclusions). The 100 top scoring managers that meet the calculation criteria are deemed Alpha Managers.

 

By default you see a complete list of all managers in all sectors. If you wish to narrow your criteria you can do so by selecting the "Choose sector" drop down list and clicking the green 'go' button (below).
