About the LSEG Lipper Fund Awards
The annual LSEG Lipper Fund Awards recognize funds and fund companies that have demonstrated solid and consistent risk-adjusted performance relative to their peers. The LSEG Lipper Fund Awards are awarded on the basis of the Lipper Leader for Consistent Return rankings, using a measure of risk-adjusted returns over 36-, 60- and 120-month periods. The fund with the highest rank (effective return) in each eligible category wins the LSEG Lipper Fund Award. For more information, visit www.lipperfundawards.com.

FundGrade A+® is used with permission from Fundata Canada Inc., all rights reserved. The annual FundGrade A+® Awards are presented by Fundata Canada Inc. to recognize the “best of the best” among Canadian investment funds. The FundGrade A+® calculation is supplemental to the monthly FundGrade ratings and is calculated at the end of each calendar year. The FundGrade rating system evaluates funds based on their risk-adjusted performance, measured by Sharpe Ratio, Sortino Ratio, and Information Ratio. The score for each ratio is calculated individually, covering all time periods from 2 to 10 years. The scores are then weighted equally in calculating a monthly FundGrade. The top 10% of funds earn an A Grade; the next 20% of funds earn a B Grade; the next 40% of funds earn a C Grade; the next 20% of funds receive a D Grade; and the lowest 10% of funds receive an E Grade. To be eligible, a fund must have received a FundGrade rating every month in the previous year. The FundGrade A+® uses a GPA-style calculation, where each monthly FundGrade from “A” to “E” receives a score from 4 to 0, respectively. A fund’s average score for the year determines its GPA. Any fund with a GPA of 3.5 or greater is awarded a FundGrade A+® Award. For more information, see www.fundgradeawards.com.
