Citywire's investment trust manager ratings are three-year risk-adjusted measures of the movement in a trust’s net asset value (NAV). They are based on the ‘information ratio’, which is a measure of a fund manager’s skill against a benchmark.  The benchmarks are applied at the trust level, using month-end cum fair NAV. This methodology is consistent with our annual Citywire Investment Trust Awards and our established fund manager ratings.  For a fund manager to be considered, they need a 36-month track record. Each trust they manage also requires a 36-month track record, unless it aligns with a trust in the same sector and is assigned the same benchmark as an eligible trust.
