Every day, the analysts at Scope Analysis evaluate the risk/return profiles of investment funds and the quality of asset managers. Their ratings, analysis 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, bonds 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 over 10-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.

What sets the Scope Award apart from a Scope Rating? While both are about outperforming high-quality funds and asset managers, there is one major difference: The award recognises in particular the momentum and achievement of the past 12 months - the award highlights the outcome of the analysis but not in the forefront unlike the rating.

On the days of the Scope Investment Awards and Scope Alternative Investment Awards, we invited external capital market experts. Keynote speeches and panel discussions will cover current topics and provide interesting information on investment decisions and investment processes.
