To be considered for an individual fund award, investment funds
must meet stringent criteria. Panels of industry experts review the
quantitative performance of a fund on an absolute and relative
basis, as well as various measures of risk and diversification
benefits. The panels also weigh qualitative factors such as
management quality, capacity constraints and fee structure. For

The Morningstar Awards is the only national event of its kind in
Canada that reflects the
collective efforts of a broad range of industry experts, advisors
