6 IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES fi360 Fiduciary Score Methodology The fi360 Fiduciary Score is a peer percentile ranking of an investment against a set of quantitative due diligence criteria selected to reflect prudent fiduciary management. For each investment with at least a threeyear history, fi360 calculates the fi360 Fiduciary Score based on the following due diligence criteria: regulatory oversight, minimum track record, stability of the organization, assets in the investment, composition consistency with asset class, style consistency, expense ratio/fees relative to peers, risk-adjusted performance relative to peers, and performance relative to peers. Investments are evaluated on a monthly basis. If an investment does not meet an individual due diligence criterion, points are assigned. Investments that satisfy all of the due diligence criteria receive a fi360 Fiduciary Score of 0. Every other investment is given a Score of based on their point total, and representing their percentile ranking within their peer group. For example, an investment with an fi360 Fiduciary Score of 37 means it scores in the 37th percentile of its peers. An fi360 Fiduciary Score of 0 is most favorable. It represents that an investment meets or exceeds all of fi360 s recommended due diligence thresholds. A Score of 100 is least favorable. The fi360 Fiduciary Score Average is a one-, three-, five-, or ten-year rolling average of an investment s fi360 Fiduciary Score. The Average is also calculated on a monthly basis. The fi360 Fiduciary Score represents a suggested course of action and is not intended, nor should it be used, as the sole source of information for reaching an investment decision. Visit for the complete methodology document. Scorecard System Methodology The scoring system is built around pass/fail criteria (0 10, with 10 being the best) and measures active, passive and asset allocation investment strategies. The system measures three different risk/return criteria (versus Morningstar s single measure) as well as style characteristics, peer group rankings and multiple qualitative factors, including portfolio manager tenure, expenses and strength of statistics. Eighty percent of the fund s score is quantitative (made up of eight unique factors), incorporating modern portfolio theory statistics, quadratic optimization analysis, and peer group rankings (among a few of the quantitative factors). The other twenty percent of the score is qualitative, taking into account things such as manager tenure, the fund s expense ratio relative to the average fund expense ratio in that asset class category, and the fund s strength of statistics (statistical significance). Other criteria that may be considered in the qualitative score includes the viability of the firm managing the assets, management or personnel issues at the firm, and/or whether there has been a change in direction of the fund s stated investment strategy. The following pages detail the specific factors for each type of investing strategies. Combined, these factors are a way of measuring the relative performance, characteristics, behavior and overall appropriateness of a fund for inclusion into a plan as an investment option. 4 fi360 Fiduciary Score & Retirement Plan Advisory Group Scores
