Data utilised for this aggregated analysis covers both funds and benchmarks in a specific or customised fund universe.

Aggregated data and information portals are inevitable and necessary in today’s world of technology.  Advisers and investors require a platform where they can access to view and compare important investment highlights for client decision making.
