MoneyWorks4Me rates and ranks mutual funds based on the following data-driven system:

1. Performance Consistency: This is measure based on whether the fund has beaten the benchmark index consistently. For
   this we compare the 3-year rolling returns of the fund with the benchmark for a minimum of 5 years and preferable 10
   years. The period of rolling is one month and holding period is 3 years. Fund are color-coded Green on Performance when
   the fund beats the benchmark more than 90% of the time. It is Orange if it beats 80% to 90% of the time and Red if less
   than 80%. Funds with less than 5 year data are color-coded Grey.
2. Quality of Portfolio Holding: Moneyworks4Me has color-coded stocks as Green, Orange and Red based on whether the
   company’s performance has generated a ROCE above a threshold level (cost of capital) over 10 years (minimum 6 years) and
   generated positive Free Cash Flow. For Banks it checks whether ROE is greater than 15% and sales has grown over previous
   year. Stocks that perform consistently on these combined metrics are color-coded Green (min score 14 out of 20), Orange
   (between 8 and 14) and Red (less than 8 out of 20).

Funds ranking in screeners: Performance Consistency and Quality are two parameters used for ranking funds for SIP. The
ranking as follows GG, GO, GR, OG, OO, OR, RG, RO and RR.

With the same color-coded funds, the one with the higher Average 3-year rolling returns (over 5 to 10 years), the number
that appears in the Performance tag, ranks higher.
