Etica Mixed Bond and Etica Balanced: 10-year results
The top 300 funds include the “Over 10 Years” section, which aims to identify companies that have successfully managed investors’ savings over the long term by selecting products and companies that have produced satisfactory results over the last 10 years.
To identify the Best Fund Over 10 Years, an efficiency indicator was used similar to the calculation of the Modified Sharpe Ratio used to calculate ratings, but extended over a longer time horizon. This indicator shows, net of inflation, the level of remuneration for each individual point of volatility, i.e. of risk.
Etica Mixed Bond and Etica Balanced were recognised in the “Best Fund over 10 years” category, i.e. the best funds with a track record of more than 10 years respectively in the “Mixed Bonds” and “Balanced – Equity-Oriented” categories, within the special classification of the most efficient funds with a track record of over ten years distributed in Italy.
