Every day, the analysts at Scope Analysis evaluate the risk/return profiles of investment funds and the quality of asset managers. Their ratings, rankings and research reports help investors to make informed investment and selection decisions.

Once a year, our analysts revue their work to select the most outstanding asset management achievements and strongest fund concepts which we honour with the Scope Awards.

The Scope Awards are the most established and distinguished awards presented to fund and asset managers in German-speaking countries – for equity, pension and mixed funds (the Scope Investment Awards) as well as for tangible assets and alternative investments (the Scope Alternative Investment Awards). We have been holding the Scope Alternative Investment Awards since 2005, while the Scope Investment Awards have an 11-year history.

Our media partnership with the Handelsblatt is a distinguishing feature of the Scope Awards. The award ceremony has been jointly held together with the Handelsblatt since 2013.

Moreover, while all other market awards focus exclusively on quantitative criteria, the Scope Awards also take qualitative criteria fully into consideration. Although attention to qualitative factors makes analysis considerably more time-consuming, it also allows forward-looking statements to be made regarding the quality of funds and managers.

So what distinguishes a Scope Award from a Scope rating? While both allow high-quality funds and asset managers to stand out from the crowd, there is one significant difference: fund providers and asset managers can acquire ratings, whereas they must qualify for an award in accordance with participation and nomination conditions
