The combination of a qualitative analysis of the fund management and a quantitative assessment of the expected returns ensures that all relevant factors are taken into account.

What are fund ratings?

Fund ratings are independent assessments that provide investors with an objective evaluation of the quality and risk-adjusted returns of a fund. The ratings are based on a combination of qualitative analysis of the fund management and quantitative evaluation of expected returns. Among other things, Creditreform Rating assesses the experience of the fund manager, the governance structure and performance forecasts. Our fund ratings offer investors a transparent, reliable and comparable analysis.

Asset classes

Creditreform's fund rating assesses closed-end funds that invest in alternative asset classes, which are characterized by long-term capital commitment and limited liquidity. These include, in particular:
- Real Estate
- Infrastructure
- Private Debt
- Private Equity
- Venture Capital

Rating approach

To ensure a well-founded and holistic analysis, Creditreform follows a three-step approach for the evaluation of funds:

  1. Qualitative assessment of the fund manager, focusing on factors such as experience (track record), investment strategy and risk management.
  2. A quantitative analysis, based on the business plan and other information from the fund manager, to examine the risk-adjusted return, volatility and liquidity.
  3. Weighting of the qualitative and quantitative results to create a balanced and objective fund rating.

This structured evaluation process enables a transparent and reliable assessment of the fund's performance.
