At least 36 months of performance history as of the end of the calendar year of the respective evaluation year. U.S. Mutual Fund classifications with at least 10 distinct portfolios based on the primary share class definition.

Some funds may be excluded from award consideration if, in the opinion of LSEG Lipper’s Research staff, the portfolio has undergone too many classification changes or changed classifications recently. Lipper ratings do not take into account the effects of sales charges.
Only one share class (the one with the best Lipper Leader score) is used for each portfolio in determining asset class and overall awards. The calculation periods are through the end of November of the respective evaluation year. The currency for the calculation corresponds to the currency of the country for which the awards are calculated and relies on monthly data. Classification averages are calculated with all eligible share classes for each eligible classification. For a detailed explanation, please review the Lipper Leader Methodology Document.
