Barron’s fund rankings are measured by each funds’ performance against all other funds in its LSEG Lipper category, with a percentile ranking of 100 being the highest and 1 the lowest. The result is then weighted by asset size, relative to the fund family’s other assets in its general classification. If a family’s biggest funds do well, that performance boosts the overall ranking, while poor performance in the biggest funds will hurt a firm’s ranking. To be included in the ranking a firm must have at least three funds in the general equity category, one world equity, one mixed equity (such as a balanced or target-date fund), two taxable bond funds, and one national tax-exempt bond fund.

Financial Planning’s rankings are based on data provided by Morningstar. All data is from Morningstar Direct and is current as of Feb. 12, 2024. Morningstar Rating™ for funds, or ‘star rating,’ is calculated for managed products (including mutual funds, variable annuity and variable life subaccounts, exchange-traded funds, closed-end funds, and separate accounts) with at least a three-year history. This is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a managed product’s monthly excess performance, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of products in each product category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating for a managed product is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. While the 10-year overall star rating formula seems to give the most weight to the 10-year period, the most recent three-year period actually has the greatest impact because it is included in all three rating periods. Ratings do not take into account the effect of sales charges and loads.
