Method­ol­o­gy de­ter­mi­na­tions (Lev­el 2)

The methodology determinations specify in detail:

  • the methods to be used to determine individual elements;
  • the methods to be used in future to determine efficiency scores;
  • how to decide the input parameters;
  • the principles to be used in future to determine the rate of equity return.
