Etica Obbligazionario Misto and Etica Bilanciato win Best Fund Over 10 Years award in the CFS Rating best 300 funds yearbook.
Best Fund Over 10 Years
Each year the financial analyst CFS Rating publishes its annual guide to the 300 best mutual funds. The “Over 10 Years” section in the yearbook covers the companies that manage investors’ assets most successfully over the long term, identifying products and firms that have achieved satisfactory results over the last 10 years.
An efficiency indicator was created for this purpose that uses the Modified Sharpe Ratio to give a rating over a longer time horizon. The indicator measures the returns for each point of volatility, or risk, net of inflation.
