FUNDGRADE
Fundata’s FundGrade rating system assists investors, financial advisors, and portfolio
managers to easily, quickly and objectively rank over 7,000 investment funds within
the Canadian investment fund universe.
The FundGrade rating system assigns a letter grade to each fund every month. From
a grade of “A” (indicating superior past performance) to “E” (indicating poor past
performance), the FundGrade rating system employs an advanced, risk-adjusted approach
to rank the performance of each qualifying investment fund. A fund’s performance
is evaluated not only in terms of returns but also in terms of amount of risk taken
to generate those returns.
FundGrade can be employed in your detailed search criteria for all funds and ETFs,
and can be used to quickly sort funds in the search results. Engage FundGrade in
investment research and analysis and point out the rating in the PDF fund reports
– clients will appreciate your validation of fund selection as A-Grade achievers.

FUNDATA PROSPECTUS RISK INDICES™
The purpose of the Fundata Prospectus Risk Indices is to compare the performance
and volatility of prospectus-issuing funds with similar risk classifications. The
indices are designed to provide financial advisors with a powerful tool for comparing
fund performance and volatility among risk peers for their clients’ investment portfolios.
The indices track the performance and risk-return profiles of the constituent mutual
funds in each of the five Prospectus Risk Rating groups:
- Low Risk
- Low to Medium Risk
- Medium Risk
- Medium to High Risk
- High Risk
This unique segmentation of the Canadian retail fund market space allows financial
advisors to determine whether or not a fund is categorized with the appropriate
risk classification and whether the level of return is acceptable for the given
risk level. The perfect tool to accurately match a fund for a client’s portfolio
based on KYC investment objectives and risk tolerance. Look for it in the two page
PDF fund report.

organize and track multiple client portfolios as well as analyze portfolios based

progress and make investment recommendations to clients. The Portfolio Management
feature provides you with the capability to analyze the diversification of each
client’s investments by viewing the top holdings and allocations of the entire portfolio.
It is updated on a daily basis, so you’re assured of the most current data.
