The award is given to the funds that have created value for investors, not just in 2018, but over at least a five-year time horizon. Morningstar’s objective is to recognise those funds that generate performance over the longer-term and at the same time manage investment risk.
The Morningstar Fund Awards are based on a rigorous quantitative and qualitative methodology applied in all European and Asian countries in which Morningstar is present and is designed to recognise excellent asset management over a medium-long term horizon.

Equity
• Italy Equity;
• Europe Equity (Europe Large-Cap Value, Europe Large-Cap Blend, Europe Large-Cap Growth, Europe Flex-Cap, Europe Equity Income);
• Global Equity (Global Large-Cap Value, Global Large-Cap Blend, Global Large-Cap Growth, Global Flex-Cap, Global Equity Income).Fixed Interest

Morningstar Fund Awards – Quantitative and Qualitative Aspects
The first aspect taken into consideration by the Morningstar Fund Awards is transparency. Only funds that regularly report their portfolio data, in particular at least four complete portfolios between 1 September 2017 and 31 December 2018 are eligible for an award.
Secondly the analysts look at risk-adjusted performance. 80% of the overall score depends on the return (greater weight being given to 3-year and 5-year performance) and the remaining 20% on risk.
Among the most important qualitative elements are continuity of management and the fund’s stated mandate: any fund that is deemed to have deviated from its stated mandate will be excluded.
