Lipper Leaders
Are your funds' stars misaligned?


Lipper recognizes a successful investment strategy is based on identifying funds which match individual investment goals and risk tolerance.  Lipper’s Global Research team created the Lipper Leader Rating System in response to this need. 

Lipper Leaders is a mutual fund rating system designed to help guide investors and their advisers in selecting funds that suit individual investment styles and goals.  The Lipper Ratings provides an instant measure of a fund’s success against four key metrics.  These four metrics can be used alone or in conjunction with one another to help construct individualized portfolios.
