“Qualitative Evaluation”
of Funds’ Future Prospects
We have been consistently focusing on qualitative evaluation, which measures funds’ expected future performance. Our evaluation does not simply comment or criticize the state of funds under review, but is designed to identify the right funds to generate additional returns and/or smaller risk for clients’ asset management. We also continue to verify the efficacy of our evaluation and disclose the results.
Broad Range of Coverage Including Alternative Investments
Our research covers not only the traditional products but also the alternative investment strategies, such as hedge fund, private equity, infrastructure, and real estate products.*
*As of March 2021, NFRC continues to cover approx. 1,580 funds and 350 asset managers.
