Morningstar Star Rankings Definition

The Morningstar Europe Star Rating provides a ranking of the returns of comparable funds, taking into account fund costs and risk. Ratings are sector specific which means that they are not suitable when comparing funds in different sectors. The key ingredients of the Morningstar Star Rating are:

Morningstar Categories: These bring together funds that have genuinely similar investment policies, as reflected by their portfolio holdings. The relevant parameters are a fund's investments in particular equity markets in bonds markets or in a combination of both.

Costs inputs: All annual expenses incurred by a fund are already deducted from the raw performance figures. Additionally, the Morningstar Rating systematically takes initial charges into account.

A risk-adjusted return calculation: For all rated funds, 36 months of performance data is combined with a sophisticated measure of risk to give an overall rating.

Fund Stars allocated Sector Ranking
5 Stars Top 10%
4 Stars Next 22.5%
3 Stars Middle 35%
2 Stars Next 22.5%
1 Star Bottom 10%


Morningstar ratings are applied at share class level, which means that each share class requires 36 monthly returns before it will be awarded a rating. Only funds with a minimum of 3 stars rating are shown in this report.
