Methodology
The Morningstar fund category awards are based on Morningstar fund data as of 31 December 2021. The awards methodology emphasises the one-year period, but funds must also have delivered strong three- and five-year returns after adjusting for risk within the awards peer groups in order to obtain an award. In selecting winners, fund returns are adjusted for risk using the Morningstar Risk, a measure which imposes a higher penalty for downside variation in a fund’s return than it does for
upside volatility. For the full methodology, please click here. The full methodology for the awards is available here.
