The Scope rating methodology is an established approach of evaluating the management quality of open-end investment funds in terms of performance and risk mitigation relative to their peers. The evaluation is both quantitative and qualitative, depending on the fund’s history and the rating methodology used. The qualitative rating is particularly interesting for funds with a history of up to five years and offers a potential added value.
