At the beginning of each quarter, we rank each style from best to worst with our Style Ratings Report. These rankings are forward looking and are indicative of how each style should perform going forward.
We also highlight the top ETFs or mutual funds along with the worst. This analysis is available to our Platinum-level and higher members. This information allows investors to make better decisions when making portfolio allocations by identifying which funds to avoid and which funds to buy. More reliable & proprietary fundamental data, as shown in The Journal of Financial Economics, and shown to provide a new source of alpha, drives our research. Our Robo-Analyst technology[1] empowers our unique ETF and mutual fund rating methodology, which leverages our rigorous analysis of each fund’s holdings.[2]
Some of the best funds include BFOR, IFPUX, FCPI, and LDIFX. Some of the worst funds include DVALX, FPX, TMFS, and DDDAX.
Last quarter’s Style Ratings can be found here. Last quarter’s Style Recap is available here.
