The Morningstar Star Ratings displayed above are subject to change monthly.

The Morningstar Rating for Funds, often referred to as the Star Rating, is a data driven rating which compares how well a fund performed against similar funds. It is calculated by Morningstar Research Inc., an independent research firm. Morningstar groups funds based on the types of investments in the funds’ portfolios using CIFSC Fund categories. The Star Rating also considers the amount of risk a fund has taken to achieve its return. A more volatile fund will generally receive a lower rating than a steadier fund with the same return. Star Ratings are given for funds with at least a 3-year track record based on the fund’s Morningstar Risk Adjusted Return. The overall ranking is a weighted combination of the 3, 5 and 10 year ratings. Overall ratings are adjusted where a fund has less than 5 or 10 years of history.

Funds which rank in the top 10% of its category receive a 5-Star rating. Funds which rank in the next 22.5% receive a 4-Star rating. Funds which rank in the next 35% receive a 3-Star rating. Funds which rank in the next 22.5% receive a 2-Star rating. Funds which rank in the lowest 10% of its category receive a 1-Star rating. Star Ratings are based entirely on a mathematical evaluation of past performance. Though they could be used to identify funds to further evaluate and research, they should not be considered to be buy or sell recommendations from Morningstar.

For further information on the Star Rating, please refer to www.morningstar.ca.
