How this is computed

Each verdict is computed from this fund's own metrics against its sub-category — the number behind it is shown, not a black-box rating.

Ranked within FoF Overseas (same plan and option). 46 of the 50 FoF Overseas funds in this cohort carry the full record the stars need, so they are the ones ranked against.

Not shown for FoF Overseas — a debt, arbitrage or cash-like fund isn't measured against an equity index, so alpha/beta vs one would be noise rather than signal.
