Outlook Money Awards Methodology - The Wealth Creator AwardsThe annual awards take note of the achievements of organisations in facilitating wealth creation while protecting individuals' interests. All fund houses with assets under management of at least Rs 500 crore, as of 30 June 2003, were considered. A minimum track-record was also specified for various kinds of schemes: Equity - diversified: 5 years , Equity - tax-savings (ELSS): 5 years, Balanced: 3 years, Income: 3 years, Gilt: 2 years, Liquid: 2 years. Total number of fund houses considered : 23, Total number of equity schemes considered : 48, Total number of debt schemes considered : 80. Sales load was not taken into consideration. Publisher of the awards: Outlook Money.

Risk-adjusted returns -- returns adjusted for downside risk (negative variance from average returns) -- was the key parameter for evaluation. The database of Credence Analytics was the data source for this analysis. Fund houses were awarded points for schemes outperforming the category average risk-adjusted returns and for schemes figuring among the top five in their respective categories. Questionnaires were then sent to fund houses, asking them for information on operational aspects like: Nature of schemes (except ELSS and fixed maturity plans): • Open-ended/Closed-end • Online subscription and redemption facility • SIP and SWP options • Over the counter/chequebook facility • Trigger facility • No-load switching option • Quarterly newsletters • Information on web site. Weights were assigned to all parameters, and scores were tabulated to arrive at the winner and runner-up in each award segment.

Ranking Methodology – Business Standard

Mutual fund schemes are ranked on the basis of the weighted average of their 2-year and 1-year returns. Like in the previous years, the Business Standard Fund Manager seeks to rank schemes and also rate the best Fund Manager of the Year. The process of ranking starts with defining the universe of schemes. While we provide data on all schemes, we rank only those schemes which have been operating for at least two years and have a minimum corpus of Rs.40 crore. There is, therefore, a time and a corpus cut-off for ranking purpose only. The equity and debt schemes, which have been impacted by a change in management, the 12 months prior to June 30, 2003, have not been considering for the rankings. For rankings, the principle, followed in the earliest issues, is to use a time-weighted rate of returns based on the net asset values (NAVs). The rate of return is calculated on the NAVs on a point-to-point basis for two years and one year. The schemes then get ranked on the basis for two year and one year. The schemes then get ranked on the basis of a weighted average of their 2-year and 1-year returns. The weights assigned to the current year’s return is 0.67, while the 2-year performance of the scheme gets a weight of 0.33. The higher weightage given to the current year’s performance is justified on the basis that the Fund Manager essentially tracks the annual performance of schemes. The ranking is done separately for equity (diversified), equity (special focus), debt, gilt and balanced funds. The return-based ranking makes on attempt to compare the performance of schemes across these categories. The ranks thus assigned are strictly within the category of funds to which they belong. However, to arrive at the Fund Manager of the Year, we have to make an exception to the rule. It is erroneous to compare a debt scheme with an equity scheme on the basis of return alone. In order to compare them, there has to be some standardization. Also, working on the well-accepted premise that fund management is not all about returns, we not only look at returns, but also the risks. What we have done is to calculate the risk-weighted returns across all schemes. An attempt has been made to estimate the return per unit of risk for the schemes. There is a small statistical issue which needs to be noted. Conventionally, at least 30 observations are needed to generate “statistically significant” results. However, we tried sensitivity of results to time period and found that the results are not sensitive. We continue to use the NAV-based rate of return over two years but go further and factor in the risks by calculating the “excess returns over benchmark” and accounting for volatility. This has been done by calculating the Sharpe ratio. The benchmark varies for different categories of funds. The benchmark for rating equity schemes is the Sensex, for debt schemes it is the return on risk-free paper and, for balanced schemes, it is 50:50 of sensex and risk-free return. The number of schemes considered in each category were Equity-72; Balanced-34; Gilt-49 and Debt-52. Once all the schemes are rated, the fund manager whose funds have got the maximum ranks across all categories is declared the Fund Manager of the Year. Normally, there is only one chief investment officer (CIO) for a fund. However, in the case of the fund that emerges at the top in our risk-adjusted ratings, there are two CIOs-one managing debt funds, and the other equity funds. Since the overall performance of these funds have been determined taking an aggregate of the performance of both types, it was decided that the two will share of the Fund Manager of the Year honour.
