Ranking of funds is provided applying the aggregated measures that base on well known Sharpe, Treynor and Jensen ratios and four different markets indexes e.g. Euro STOXX 50, DAX, CAC 40 and FTSE 100. In the composite indicators construction we use 60 classifications of the mutual funds. (original abstract)
