Srikant Dash (212) 438-3012 Very few funds manage to consistently repeat top half or top quartile srikant_dash@sandp.com performance. Over five years ending 2006, only 71 (13.2%) large-cap funds, 16 (9.9%) mid-cap funds, and 24 (10.0%) of small-cap funds maintained a top- half ranking over five consecutive 12-month periods. A total of eight large cap funds (3.0%), two mid-cap funds (2.5%) and zero small-cap funds maintained Media Contact a top-quartile ranking over the same period. Dave Guarino Looking at longer term performance, only 17.3% of large cap funds with a (212) 438-1471 top quartile ranking over five years ending 2001 maintained a top quartile dave_guarino@sandp.com ranking over the next five years ending 2006. Only 10.4% of mid cap funds and 17.7% of small cap funds maintained a top quartile performance over the same period. Random expectations would suggest a repeat rate of 25%. Our research suggests screening for top quartile funds may be inappropriate. A healthy percent, in most cases a majority, of top quartile funds in the future come from ranks of prior period second and third quartiles. Furthermore, the low absolute counts of repeat top performers suggest that past performance cannot be the sole or the most important criteria in fund selection. What distinguishes the few consistent top performers from the rest? Comparing characteristics of these consistent performers with their peers, we see that manager tenure and expense ratios stand out as key differentiators. In general, consistently top performing funds have lower expense ratios and have managers who been at the helm longer. It is interesting to note that bottom quartile funds had a much higher probability of disappearing than any other group. The five-year transition matrix notes that more than 40% of bottom quartile funds disappeared due to mergers or liquidations, the comparable number for top-quartile funds being less than 10%. Clearly, fund companies actively cull from the ranks of their bottom ranking funds as this makes their slate of funds look better. www.standardandpoors.com
- 2. Standard & Poor’s Mutual Fund Performance Persistence Scorecard Introduction The Standard & Poor's Mutual Fund Performance Persistence Scorecard provides semi-annual results on the persistence of top performing funds in the current market. These reports show performances of actively managed mutual funds within their capitalization peer groups and monitor the consistency of their performance results. While historical research has reviewed the likelihood of repeat performance, this report is unique in a few respects: • Apples to Apples Comparison: In our experience, a majority of professional money managers follow disciplined and repeatable investment processes. Often, mutual funds with conservative growth, relative value, or other tilts may appear in nearby style boxes. For the persistence reports, we track all funds within their capitalization levels (large, mid-, or small), comparing, for example, a large cap fund with another large cap fund rather than a small cap fund. The ranking reports correct for • Historical Rankings without Survivorship bias: For anyone making an investment survivorship bias. decision at the beginning of a time period, all funds available at that time are part of the initial opportunity set. The Persistence Scorecard rank all funds available at each point in time and track the top-quartile and top-half performers throughout the time period. Many funds might liquidate or merge during a period of study; often, performance persistence reports use a finite set of funds that cover the complete The reports track historical time period, in essence, ranking the survivors. consistent performers over three or five • Consecutive 12-Month Top Performers: The performance persistence reports track consecutive years. the percentages of funds that remain in the top-quartile or top-half rankings for three or five consecutive years. Transition matrices • Transition Matrices: The performance persistence reports extend the analyses to highlight movements highlight the movements between quartiles and halves for two non-overlapping one-, between quartiles and three- and five-year periods. These reports also track the percentage of funds that halves over non- overlapping one-, have merged or liquidated. We also monitor movements between capitalization three- and five-year levels, for example, if some large cap funds have moved to being mid or small cap periods. funds. • Identifying Characteristics of Consistent Performers: The Persistence Scorecard provides averages of various fund characteristics (expenses, manager tenure, turnover etc.) in comparing consistently above average funds versus their peer universe. • Clean Universe: The mutual fund universe used in these reports is actively managed domestic U.S. equity funds. Index funds, sector funds and index-based dynamic (bull/bear) funds are excluded from the sample. The All Domestic Funds category also includes recently introduced funds in the recently introduced all-cap category. • No Double Counting of Multiple Share Classes: To avoid double counting, the data used is the return of the largest share class of the fund, net of fees, but excluding loads. Standard & Poor’s Performance Persistence Scorecard is the only comprehensive, periodic and publicly available source of such data. The semi-annual reports can be found online at www.standardandpoors.com. Standard & Poor’s 2

Standard & Poor’s Mutual Fund Performance Persistence Scorecard Very few funds consistently repeat top half or top quartile performance The low count of funds Over five years ending 2006, only 71 (13.2%) large-cap funds, 16 (9.9%) mid-cap funds, and that consistently 24 (10.0%) of small-cap funds maintained a top-half ranking over five consecutive 12-month maintain top quartile periods. A total of eight large cap funds (3.0%), two mid-cap funds (2.5%) and zero small- rankings is a sobering cap funds maintained a top-quartile ranking over the same period. (See Report 2.) These low reminder about the counts are a sobering reminder about the validity of the often-footnoted disclaimer - “Past risks of chasing past performance is no guarantee of future results.” performance. While, low by themselves, it is important to remember that these numbers are similar or slightly higher than random expectations. If fund returns are random and independent of prior returns, one would expect the top half repeat rate to be 6.25% and the top quartile repeat rate to be 0.4%. Looking at longer term performance, only 17.3% of large cap funds with a top quartile ranking over five years ending 2001 maintained a top quartile ranking over the next five years ending 2006. Only 10.4% of mid cap funds and 17.7% of small cap funds maintained a top quartile performance over the same period. Similarly, 37.0% of large cap funds, 31.6% of mid cap funds and 47.5% of small cap funds with a top half ranking over five years ending 2001 maintained a top half ranking over the next five years ending 2006. (See Report 5.) Random expectations would suggest a top half repeat rate of 50% and a top quartile repeat rate of 25%. Report 1 presents the repeat rate of top half and top quartile performers for three consecutive 12-month periods. Report 4 presents the transition matrix for funds over three non- overlapping five-year periods. Both reports show that top half and top quartile performance over these periods was higher than random expectations. Past performance is Is screening for funds based on quartiles in prior periods appropriate? not statistically irrelevant, but choosing funds based We reference random expectations because they set a benchmark for the usefulness of on quartiles may be screening funds based on past returns. The fact that in many cases the repeat rates are higher inappropriate as a than random expectations suggests that past performance should not be dismissed as practical matter. completely irrelevant. However, as a practical matter, we believe the commonly used screening for funds based on top quartiles may be inappropriate for the following reasons: • The low absolute counts of repeat top performers suggest that past performance cannot be the sole or the most important criteria in fund selection. • Furthermore, the transition matrices of Report 4 and 5 suggest that a healthy percent, in most cases a majority, of top quartile funds in the subsequent period come from prior period second or third quartiles. An illustration of where the top quartile performers over a five-year horizon ranked in the previous five years is shown in charts in the next page. There does seem a sound logic for ignoring funds in the bottom quartile – many of the bottom quartile funds are merged or liquidated, and if they survive their performance is likely to be in the bottom half. However, advisors and consultants who use granular rankings such as . quartile, or even deciles and quintiles, may be missing out funds that should belong to their initial selection set.

Report 7 compares performing funds characteristics of the roster of consistent top half performers with their peers. Looking at the have managers who characteristics of the universe versus the characteristics of the sections below, we see that have been at the helm manager tenure and expense ratios stands out as an important factor. In general, consistently longer. top performing funds have managers who been at the helm longer and charge lower expense ratios. What happens to the bottom quartile funds? Bottom quartile funds The transition matrices of Reports 4 and 5 track the fortunes of the funds in different quartiles have a high over the subsequent three and five years respectively. One of the most interesting probability of observations from these reports is the fate of bottom quartile funds. Bottom quartile funds disappearing. had a much higher probability of disappearing than any other group. The five-year transition matrix notes that more than 40% of 4th quartile funds disappeared due to mergers or liquidations, the comparable number for top-quartile funds being less than 10%. Clearly, fund companies seem to actively cull from the ranks of their bottom ranking funds. This makes obvious sense – bottom quartile funds often bleed assets and become unprofitable, and they make the slate of funds marketed by the company look worse. From our scorecard, this culling also seems to benefit investors as well - a bottom quartile funds that did survive were more likely to show a bottom half in the next period. . Standard & Poor’s 4
