Funds from Prosperity Cub, H2O Adagio, Russian Prosperity and DWS Deutschland funds have have joined the list of those most highly rated by SharingAlpha's platform users, constituting professional fund selectors across Europe and beyond.

Other funds advancing on the leaderboard include the Magallanes European Equity and Cartesio X funds. Funds in the top 10 that have slipped in the ranking include the azValor Iberia, LF Odey Absolute Return, and Schroder GAIA Two Sigma Diversified funds.

The Liontrust European Income fund retains the strongest rating, according to the key factors of people, price and portfolio. The scores represent the ‘wisdom of the crowd', as they are based more on qualitatively derived expectations of fund selectors rather than backward looking quantitative filtering.

From the scores attributed to individual funds by fund selectors, SharingAlpha can compare the performance of those funds against equivalent ETFs, to gauge the alpha generation attributable to the skill of the selector. The closer the performance of the fund to the expectation of the selector, the higher the score of the selector. This is called a ‘Hit Score' by SharingAlpha, which can then be compared between peers to identify groups of selectors who consistently do well, exhibiting selection skills.

The platform also enables fund selectors to run funds of funds, to establish asset allocation rankings. Again, this facilitates the generation of a track record of measurable skill on the part of the selector.

The data generated by platform users also enables SharingAlpha to provide updated rankings of providers, popular funds, popular categories, highly rated funds by category, and highly rated hedge funds. The ratings are provided on the basis of data available to the end of November 2018.
