Introduction to EFC
The European Fund Classification (EFC) is a pan-European classification system developed by the European Fund Categorization Forum (EFCF) – a working group of the European Fund and Asset Management Association (EFAMA). Currently, around 21000 entities (funds and share classes) supplied by 130 leading European fund groups have been classified.
What is the European Fund Classification?
The classification is a standardized set of fund classification rules allowing funds to be easily compared regardless of country specific classification rules, but on a much wider Pan-European scale.
Benefits of the Classification
- Transparent comparisons of cross-border funds
- A common language for fund classifications
- Less controversial peer group analysis
