ⓘ Methodology

Peer composites equal-weight the group's share-class representatives' daily returns, including delisted members' alive-era history via the frozen year-end snapshots — though our coverage of closed funds is partial, so composite levels at older dates may run slightly high. Membership is the latest known — style migrators carry their full history. ETF performance based on market prices. Drag on chart to select period. Sharpe Ratio uses the one-month T-bill as the risk-free rate. From 10/7/2025 to 10/7/2026.

ⓘ Methodology

ETF performance based on market prices. Global Dev factor set. Daily OLS of excess return (fund − T-bill) on factor spread returns over the selected date range, intersected with each series' history. Bold with * |t| ≥ 1.96, ** |t| ≥ 2.58. Cell shading tracks each loading's t-stat. Betas are returns-based — compare with the holdings-based factor scores below. Factor returns are long-short spread returns (© Ken French, Dartmouth). Fama-French publishes daily factors for developed markets only, so Dev Ex-US is developed markets excluding the US and Global Dev is developed markets including it; emerging markets, a small share of world market capitalization, are not covered by the source data. From 10/7/2025 to 8/31/2026.

ⓘ Methodology

Every figure on this card is an equal-weight aggregate over the composite's share-class-deduped members: the median across the members reporting each field, blank where too few of them do. Three rows depart from that, because a median of them would say nothing: Inception is the group's OLDEST member — where its combined history can start; 3Y Flow is the group's own net flow over its own assets, not the middle member's rate; and Type, Asset Class and Region are compositions by member count. Holdings is the merged look-through book — distinct positions across the members' holdings.

ⓘ Methodology

Equity size and style definitions: Large vs. Small based on market cap, where Large > $70B, Mid $10-70B, and Small < $10B. Value vs. Growth based on percentile ranking on Traditional Value score within the fund's region and size cohort (equal thirds among its true equity-fund peers). Cell shading and percentages: share of classified holdings weight per box, from stock-level classification (size on the same $70B/$10B lines; value by Traditional Value terciles across scored stocks). The dot is the average holding ranked against other funds, so dot and weights can differ at the margin. The Size and Style bars are the grid's row and column totals. Stock-level data as of 8/31/2026. 218 of this group's 1365 funds hold too little equity to count.

Short positions of 0.5% of net assets are not shown.ⓘ Methodology

Shares of the fund's long book, from the asset category each position is filed under. Holdings that are themselves funds are looked through one level to their own mix (58% of the book). Cash & Short-Term includes 0.3% of net assets the filing does not itemise. The short book is stated under the card and never netted into a slice: a pie cannot draw a negative, and folding a hedge into the class it offsets would make it look like more of that class. 0.1% of this book sits in funds we hold no holdings file for and is drawn as its own slice. Other is everything we could not name as an asset class: holdings the filing itself labels as other, derivative positions at the market value the filing reports rather than at notional, and funds held inside this fund whose own holdings we could not read (0.2% here). Alternatives holds funds counted by what they are rather than by what they hold - alternative strategies, and funds that are short. A pie cannot draw a negative, and adding a hedge to the class it offsets would make it look like more of that class.

ⓘ Methodology

Shares are percentages of the fund's classified equity book, renormalized so each split sums to 100% (the equity book is 63% of net assets) — they are not portfolio weights. China exposure: domiciled = incorporated in China or Hong Kong, falling back to the filing's country for holdings outside the stock model. Among the rest, revenue = ≥15% of revenue derived from China; operations = ≥3% of LinkedIn-tracked workforce in China, or ≥2 identified Chinese suppliers making up ≥12% of those identified. China revenue is estimated where segment reporting is absent. Company size bands by holding market cap: Mega >$500B, Large $70–500B, Mid $10–70B, Small $1–10B, Micro <$1B. Old vs New Economy partitions Sparkline's 48 industries: New = technology, internet platforms and entertainment, e-commerce, payments, pharma/biotech/medtech, and renewable energy; Old = everything else. Shares are of classified holdings and sum to 100%. China shares are of total equity weight. Size shares are of scored holdings weight. Stock-level data as of 8/31/2026. 218 of this group's 1365 funds hold too little equity to count.

Peer Group Rank

See All Peer Groups

Asset Allocation is an asset class — the widest pool this card ranks in — so there is no larger group to rank it against. Its members’ standings live on their own pages, and the narrower groups inside it are each ranked here against Asset Allocation.

ⓘ Methodology

Asset Allocation Composite is a Sparkline peer composite — its members are the share-class representatives of the funds in the group (one class per fund: the exchange-listed class where the SEC series has one, else its longest-history class).
