Absolut|ranking – Asset manager analyses for asset owner
Absolut|ranking is a monthly e-paper series (PDF) on quantitative performance measurement. In total, more than 16,000 institutional investment strategies from over 2,000 asset managers are analysed in depth.
Divided into 34 asset classes with over 200 universes, the Absolute Rankings provide a quick overview of the best asset managers in a wide range of market segments.
Each universe is ranked on a monthly basis across 8 metrics and 5 time periods. The top 10 and 25 per cent are immediately identifiable through an easy-to-understand colour coding system.
The Absolute|ranking series is complemented by our unique new 360° analysis. The Factsheet, Peer Group, Benchmark, Factor and Asset Flow analyses are high quality tools, both in terms of content and graphics, that enable a quick assessment of asset managers' performance.
Absolut|ranking and associated analyses provide institutional investors with a powerful research tool that simplifies the monitoring of existing mandates and facilitates the selection of new asset managers and suitable strategies.
