Best RF - Emerging Markets funds
Ranking of the top 20 RF - Emerging Markets funds by composite score (risk-adjusted return). Updated 31/05/2026.
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.
