Methodology
According to Morningstar, these awards are determined by a combination of risk-adjusted medium- to long-term performance track records and Morningstar's forward-looking rating for funds, the Morningstar Analyst Rating™, complemented by the Morningstar Quantitative Rating™ (MQR), when necessary. The MQR is a quantitative rating that seeks to emulate the Analyst Rating and uses the same Gold, Silver, Bronze, Neutral, Negative scale as the former.
The Morningstar Asset Manager - Sustainable Investing Awards are determined by a combination of Morningstar's ESG Commitment Level for asset managers, along with Morningstar's sustainability metrics for funds and Manager Research analysts' knowledge of the fund groups they assess in the context of the Morningstar Analyst Rating for Funds.
