Annexure I - CRISIL Mutual Fund Ranking methodology
CRISIL Mutual Fund Ranking is the relative ranking of mutual
fund schemes within a peer group. The basic criteria for
inclusion in the ranking universe are three-year NAV history
(one-year for liquid, ultra-short term debt, short term
income, credit oriented funds and assets under management
in excess of category cut-off limits and complete portfolio
disclosure. Only open ended schemes are considered.
Ranking is based on the following parameters:
Category-wise average AUM cut-off:
Schemes falling under 98 percentile of the category AUM are
shortlisted
Quarterly average AUM is considered
Schemes meeting inception criteria are eligible schemes
Superior Return Score (SRS)
SRS is the relative measure of the schemes returns and risk
(volatility) compared with their peer group. It is computed for
income, balanced, monthly income plan (aggressive) and long
term gilt categories. The three-year period of evaluation is
divided into four overlapping periods the latest 36, 27, 18
and 9 months. Each period has a progressive weight starting
from the longest period: 32.5%, 27.5%, 22.5% and 17.5%
respectively.
Mean Return and Volatility
Mean return and volatility are considered as separate
parameters in case of equity funds (large cap, small & mid-
cap, equity diversified, equity linked savings schemes or
ELSS and thematic infrastructure), short term debt
categories (liquid, ultra short-term debt and short term
income) and credit opportunities funds. Mean return is the
average of daily returns based on the schemes NAV for the
period under analysis and volatility is the standard deviation
of these returns. While the period for analysis is three years
for equity funds, it is one year for liquid, credit oriented, ultra
short-term debt and short term income funds. The period of
analysis is broken into four periods (latest 36, 27, 18 and 9
months for equity categories and latest 12, 9, 6 and 3 months
for short term categories). Each period is assigned a
progressive weight starting from the longest period as

follows: 32.5%, 27.5%, 22.5% and 17.5% respectively.
Portfolio Concentration Analysis
Concentration measures the risk arising out of improper
diversification. For equity securities, diversity score is used
as the parameter to measure industry and company
concentration. In case of debt schemes, the company
concentration is analysed at an individual issuer specific
limit. The limit is linked with the credit rating of the issuer,
high rated issuer will have higher limits and as the rating
declines the limit is also reduced progressively.
Exposure to Sensitive Sector
In case of debt schemes, the industry concentration is
analysed for any exposure to sensitive sectors which are
arrived based on Industry Risk Score (IRS) for various sectors.
CRISILs assessment of IRS quantifies the credit risk
associated with an industry on a uniform scale to ensure
comparability across industries. The score captures the
influence of various industry variables on the debt repayment
ability of companies in a particular sector over a 3-4 year
time horizon.
Liquidity Analysis
It measures the ease with which a portfolio can be liquidated.
The lower the score, the better it is.
In case of equities, it measures the number of days to
liquidate the portfolio. Liquidity is calculated by taking the
average portfolio liquidity score of the past three months.
Equity liquidity is computed as follows:
Liquidity score of each stock = No. of shares held / Daily
average trading volume of past six months
Portfolio liquidity score = Weighted average liquidity score of
the above
Gilt liquidity is measured by analysing the number of days it
will take to liquidate the portfolio based on turnover (volume)
and number of securities in the portfolio, the number of days
security has been traded and the number of trades over the
latest three-month period for that security.
Corporate debt liquidity is computed by classifying each
security into three categories - liquid, semi liquid and illiquid
- and then evaluating a schemes exposure to each category.
Asset Quality
Asset quality measures the probability of default by the
issuer of a debt security to honour the debt obligation on
time.
Modified Duration /Average Maturity
Modified duration / average maturity is considered across all
debt categories except liquid to capture the interest rate risk
of the portfolio. The lower the value, the better it is.
Tracking Error
This is used only for index funds. The tracking error is an
estimation of the variability in an index funds performance
vis--vis the index it proposes to replicate. The lower the
tracking error, the better it is.
