Notes to chart
Bubble size is proportionate to reported fund AUM.
Colours represent strategy groupings.
The vertical mid-point position of the groups indicate the 12-month rolling AUM weighted average performance of the funds in that group. Note; this figure includes funds with AUM <$500m, these do not appear as bubbles simply to improve graphical performance.
Hover over a group or X Axis label for more information on strategy AUM, profit, net flows, returns and number of funds in the group.
The Dispersion chart y-axis has been set to a static -60% to +60% range. Any outlier funds with rolling 12m performance outside of this range are not reflected.
