Fundata Announces the 2025 FundGrade A+ Award Winners

Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – February 6, 2026) – Fundata Canada Inc. is pleased to announce the winners of the Fundata FundGrade A+® Awards for 2025. The fourteenth annual A+ Awards “Evening of Excellence” was celebrated at Toronto’s Globe and Mail Centre on February 5, 2026. Sixty-three investment fund management companies were honoured, with 418 Canadian investment funds receiving A+ Awards.

The FundGrade A+ Award is given annually to investment funds and managers who have shown consistent, outstanding, risk-adjusted performance incorporating up to 10 years of history. The FundGrade A+ Award provides investors, advisors, and fund managers with a single, reliable, easy-to-understand fund-performance rating that is completely quantitative.

“The 2025 A+ Award-winning funds and managers once again join a very elite group,” said Janny Vincent, President and CEO of Fundata Canada Inc. “The fund managers have truly excelled in 2025 and have proven their value as outstanding stewards of their investors’ assets.”

Receiving the A+ Award for 2025 were 187 mutual funds, 117 exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and 114 segregated funds. In addition, three funds also received the A+ Responsible Investing Award.

The FundGrade A+ Rating uses a score-based calculation that ranks funds to arrive at a grade-point average to determine the annual “best-of-the-best” ratings. The top-performing funds with a responsible investing mandate were honoured separately, with a winner from each of the Equity, Balanced, and Fixed Income categories.

Canadian mutual funds have over $2.53 trillion in combined assets under management. With some 3,400 distinct mutual funds offered by 114 fund management firms, mutual fund investors can choose from a wide array of fund variations in series and clones to suit every investment need.

The ETF universe also continued to attract new investment, with $713 billion in assets under management at the end of 2025. In addition, fund sponsors added over 246 new ETFs in 2025. Investors can now choose from 1,489 ETFs in the Canadian marketplace as Canada’s 49 ETF providers continue to innovate.

“Developed by Fundata, the FundGrade A+ Rating is a totally quantitative, transparent, risk-adjusted performance calculation,” said Ms. Vincent. “In short, it gives investors, advisors, and fund providers a consistent and reliable measure of superior performance,” she added.
