Since 1999,pscription has been classifying and categorizing funds on relative return and absolute return structure. Moreover, our classification and categorization is structured such that investors can view not only similar mutual funds but also exchange traded funds.

5-level deep proprietary relative return category structure includes 4,000 mutual funds with 11,800 share classes.

Absolute return based category structure also covers the same list of funds and share classes with the aim of ranking funds that are able to deliver certain annual return benchmarks over a selected time horizon period.

Mutual fund manager information including bios are sourced either from the mutual fund company, their websites or from the regulatory filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission websites.
