With over 3,000 FCA registered funds domiciled in the UK, only a small proportion meet our criteria. Our analysts are continually uncovering new fund ideas from a range of sources.
Our analysts focus on the fundamentals: manager and the environment, investment philosophy and objectives, investment process, portfolio construction, risk management and value for money.
Following our rigorous investment process, those funds which our analysts believe are truly best in class will be pitched to be introduced into our Academy of Funds.
Our ratings reflect Square Mile’s conviction in each fund’s ability to deliver on its expectation and are only given to those we are prepared to recommend to our clients.
The rated funds within our Academy of Funds are reviewed on a quarterly basis to ensure the process remains unchanged, to assess performance and to determine the drivers of returns.
The industry and market are ever-changing, and there are a number of factors that can trigger a reappraisal of a fund rating such as a manager departure or corporate activity.
