The Minerva Ratings in the New Minerva Report

A Minerva rating is a unique measure of the consistency in performance of collective investments. Each fund with a five-year performance history is given a rating of between 1 and 10. The best achievable rating is 1, whilst the worst is 10.

The Minerva Ratings appear as a central insert to the New Minerva Report. Each sector of Unit Trusts, Investment Trusts, Offshore Funds and Insurance Funds is displayed in the following example format:
