For example, an investor might decide that a specific industry is poised for growth in the coming year. In that situation, they might use a Morningstar rating to find funds which have historically outperformed their peers in their space. These ratings judge the funds which Morningstar feels are most likely to outperform similarly situated funds going forward. Like with the star ratings, though, the analysis ratings are entirely subjective. A gold rating does not necessarily mean that the fund will perform well by objective measures; just that it will do better than other funds that hold similar assets with similar degrees of risk.
As a result, there are no guarantees that well rated funds will necessarily outperform their peers, no less the market. Morningstar ratings evaluate funds, ranking how well they performed historically. A higher rating means that the fund has posted stronger returns than other, similar investments. The top ratings of Gold and Silver indicate that our analysts expect the rated investment vehicle to produce positive alpha relative to its Morningstar Category index over the long term, meaning a period of at least five years.
Read the detailed methodology here. Here are funds that were assigned analyst ratings of gold and silver in DSP Midcap Fund. He scouts for companies that have sustainable competitive advantages over their peers and dominant market shares in their industries. He also tracks company management decisions and meets with company management.
Given the bias for mid-cap stocks, he adopts a buy-and-hold approach while constructing the portfolio. While the fund is likely to gain more than a typical peer in up markets, it also runs the risk of faring worse in down and momentum-driven markets. Franklin India Prima Fund. Fundamental research forms the crux of the investment process. The investment team places a strong emphasis on qualitative aspects such as managerial strengths and corporate governance; also, rigorous business analysis is performed to understand the growth prospects of the industry, its competitive landscape, entry barriers, and scalability prospects.
Franklin India Smaller Companies Fund. Franklin India Equity Fund. Fund manager Anand Radhakrishnan seeks companies with clean balance sheets. A Neutral fund isn't likely to deliver standout performance while a Negative-rated fund has a flaw that is likely to hamper future performance and is considered inferior compared to peers.
Once a rating has been issued, the analyst monitors developments at the fund and may upgrade or downgrade the rating after any event that may have altered his view on the fund. Also, given our philosophy towards investing, our Analyst Rating is long-term in nature and does not imply a Gold fund would outperform a Neutral fund in the next few months or a year. We believe the fund will outperform over a full market cycle of at least five years.
It is Morningstar's forward-looking view on a fund's ability to outperform category peers in the long term. A Gold fund implies our analysts have the highest conviction in its potential to beat its category over a market cycle. A Gold rating for a fund is not necessarily a 'Buy' signal; in that it is not our view on the asset class the fund operates in, but only on the fund's ability to beat peers.
So when we rate an equity fund a Gold, we do not mean we believe stocks would see superior performance compared to other asset classes, but only that the Gold-rated stock fund will likely outperform most other stock funds.
Similarly, a Silver-rated small-cap fund does not mean we believe you should prefer it over a Bronze large-cap fund as you would first still need to decide what type of funds your portfolio needs with respect to your asset allocation, investing horizon, risk profile, etc. After deciding on your asset allocation and which type of funds would make a good fit for your portfolio, you should look at the Morningstar Analyst Rating for various funds for those categories, go through the reports that explains the rating and then decide if it should be a constituent in your portfolio.
We will keep adding funds to our coverage list and will also roll out ratings on fixed-income funds in the future. Membership Login My Profile Register. Equities Equities Home Stocks Quickrank.

Finally, we compare a fund only with its peers in the same category and funds are rated on the basis of risk- and cost-adjusted performance on a bell-curve basis in the ratio presented in the image below: For any fund to be rated, it must have completed three years in existence and should belong to a relevant category.
