Peer Group Benchmark universe
FE fundinfo fund classification system
FE fundinfo’s robust classification system groups funds by applying a tailored sector to each, forming peer groups that enable accurate, like-for-like comparison. Each sector is crafted to reflect the asset classes and geographic nuances relevant to local markets, ensuring meaningful insights and comparability for investors.
Our method rigorously defines criteria for each sector, allowing only funds that fully meet the standards to be included. Using comprehensive data from fund groups and regulatory documents, FE fundinfo updates sector classifications to reflect changes in the fund landscape. This dynamic approach means funds are accurately classified, with sector sets regularly reviewed and updated to ensure relevance and alignment with evolving market conditions.
KEY FEATURES
Risk Profile Peer Group Benchmarks
Our benchmark data feeds provide insightful sector analysis.
Like-for-like comparison
Our peer groups consist of funds that invest in the same or similar classification or sector, follow similar investment strategies, or target similar market segments. This allows for focused and standardised investment performance comparison against a more relevant set of competitors with similar strategies.
Risk and return characteristics
Our peer group benchmarks help evaluate the risk-adjusted return of a portfolio to determine the competitive positioning in relation to other funds within the same peer group.
Manager evaluation
For actively managed funds, our peer group benchmarks help evaluate the fund manager’s effectiveness and compare performance in relation to peers with similar strategies.
Investor decision-making
Our peer group benchmarks provide transparency for investors and support investment decision-making by enabling them to assess whether a specific investment is keeping up with its peers in terms of risk and return.
