One share class per fund: its CH-registered class with the highest 1-year return, or, where it has none, its class with the highest 1-year return. Ordered by that return. Returns are in the share class's currency; 3Y p.a. is annualised. In a figure column, <1y or <3y marks a share class younger than the period, and a dash a figure the source does not provide. Top three by 1-year return among CH-registered classes, the same rule on every list (from October 2026; earlier editions ranked by 3-year return).
