The various ratings assigned by MIAIPL to mutual fund schemes are (i) Gold, (ii) Silver, (iii) Bronze, (iv) Neutral and (v) Negative. A Gold rated mutual fund scheme is MIAIPL’s highest-conviction recommendation, which stands out as best of breed for its investment mandate, and is expected to outperform its relevant performance benchmark and/or peer group within the context of the level of risk taken over the long term (defined as a full market cycle or at least five years). A Silver rated mutual fund scheme is MIAIPL’s high-conviction recommendation and is expected to outperform its relevant performance benchmark and/or peer group within the context of the level of risk taken over the long term, although it does not necessarily rise to the standard of best in breed. A Bronze rated mutual fund scheme is one where MIAIPL has the conviction to award it a positive rating and expects it to beat its relevant performance benchmark and/or peer group within the context of the level of risk taken over the long term, as the mutual fund scheme has advantages that outweigh its disadvantages. A Neutral rated mutual fund scheme is one in which MIAIPL does not have a strong positive or negative conviction, and while it is not likely to deliver standout returns, it isn’t likely to seriously underperform its relevant performance benchmark and/or peer group either. A Negative rated mutual fund scheme is one which has at least one flaw that MIAIPL believes is likely to significantly hamper future performance and because of such faults, such a mutual fund scheme is believed to be inferior to most competitors and likely to underperform its relevant performance benchmark and/or peer group, within the context of the level of risk taken, over a full market cycle.
