^1. Morningstar Ratings: The 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. Exchange-traded funds and open-ended mutual funds are considered a single population for comparative purposes. It 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. The weights are: 100% three-year rating for 36-59 months of total returns, 60% five-year rating/40% three-year rating for 60-119 months of total returns, and 50% 10-year rating/30% five-year rating/20% three-year rating for 120 or more months of total returns. 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 sales loads. © 2018 Morningstar. All Rights Reserved.

Methodology: Citywire Group Ratings are awarded by sector to recognise the ability of a group's managers to deliver consistently strong risk-adjusted performance. The ratings are calculated over seven years and based on an average of their managers' three-year rolling risk-adjusted returns. Where managers have moved, their track records will follow them. A final score is generated for each group, on a sector by sector basis, with their current stable of managers taken into account. Those delivering excellent levels of outperformance are placed in the ratings pool. Within that pool the ratings are as follows: The top 10% receive a Platinum award. The next 20% receive Gold. The next 30% receive Silver. The remaining 40% are awarded a Bronze. Citywire Group Ratings are updated every six months with adjustments made to allow for recent leavers and joiners.
