In short

AlternativeSoft's peer group analysis software benchmarks any fund against thousands of true peers rather than a broad index. Build a peer group by strategy, geography, size or your own rules, then rank the fund on return, volatility, drawdown, Sharpe and consistency, with quartile charts that drop straight into a committee pack.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is peer group analysis for funds?
Peer group analysis compares a fund with other funds that run the same strategy, so performance is judged against like-for-like competitors rather than a generic index. It answers whether a manager is skilled or simply in a strong strategy.
How are peer groups built in AlternativeSoft?
Automatically by strategy, sub-strategy, region, size and liquidity, or manually from your own list. Peer groups update as the database updates, so a quartile ranking is always current.
Which metrics can I rank funds on?
Return, annualised volatility, maximum drawdown, Sharpe, Sortino, Calmar, alpha, beta, up and down capture, hit rate and dozens more, over any window you choose.
Can I benchmark a fund that is not in any database?
Yes. Upload the returns and the fund is ranked against the same peer universe as everything else.
How is this different from an index comparison?
An index tells you how a strategy performed. A peer group tells you how the manager performed within that strategy, which is the question an investment committee actually asks.
