2020 Morningstar Fund Awards Malaysia

On 19 March, we will announce our annual Morningstar Fund Award Malaysia winners. The core methodology remains the same, and as always, there will be five category awards given. 

Methodology remains the same
The awards retain the same methodology combining quantitative scoring with the qualitative judgment of our analyst team. They are designed to recognise strong performance during the year in question, but they do not simply reward one year returns. Indeed, the best funds over one year have all too often just gotten lucky rather than demonstrated real skill. We therefore evaluate three and five years of history in our awards process and it takes more than strong returns to merit consideration. We also place a heavy emphasis on risk in our calculation and our analysts look at factors such as the consistency of returns, changes to management and outsized risks that might be embedded in the portfolio.
