Best FI – Emerging Markets funds
Ranking of the top 20 FI – Emerging Markets funds (Fixed Income) by composite score (risk-adjusted return). Updated 02/06/2026.
This page ranks 20 FI – Emerging Markets funds, a subcategory of Fixed Income, ordered by a composite score that rewards risk-adjusted return and curve stability while penalizing drawdowns. Use it to compare options within the same investment style before exploring each fund's history in the interactive view.
ℹ️ Methodology: period and indicators
All indicators are computed over the last 3 years of prices, with daily data. The risk-free rate used is 2.0%.
Score formula (risk-adjusted return):
0.15·R² + 0.15·Sortino* + 0.2·DD* + 0.2·CAGR_excess* + 0.1·Volatility_inv* + 0.2·Ulcer_inv*
* Components normalized to the analyzed set of funds (best in set = 1, worst = 0). The drawdown term is 1 − (MaxDD / 50.0%)2, clamped to [0,1]. Volatility and Ulcer are inverted (less = better).
A higher score means better relative behavior within the analyzed set, not an investment recommendation.

❓ Frequently asked questions
How is the fund ranking calculated?
Each fund gets a composite score from 0 to 1 that combines risk-adjusted return (excess CAGR and Sortino), curve stability (R² and inverted volatility) and drawdown control (a non-linear penalty plus the Ulcer Index). Funds are then ordered by that score.
What does the score mean for FI – Emerging Markets funds?
A higher score means better relative behavior within the analyzed set: more stable growth and smaller drawdowns for the return achieved. It is a comparison tool, not an investment recommendation.
