The Fincanva score is a single 0–5 quality score that summarises a strategy across several performance dimensions, so you can gauge its overall quality at a glance instead of reading every metric one by one. It is shown with a Strong, Fair or Weak tier — higher is better — and marked "Beta" while the feature is still being refined. The six dimensions it weighs are named on What the Fincanva score is and how to read it; their weights and the formula that combines them are proprietary and are published on no page.
What the Strong, Fair and Weak tiers mean
The 0–5 score maps to three tiers so you can read it at a glance: Strong (3.4 and above), Fair (2.0 up to 3.4), and Weak (below 2.0). A higher score is better across the board; the tier is the quick summary and the number is the finer reading within it. The tiers describe how to read the score — they are not the recipe behind it.
How does Fincanva handle it?
- A single 0–5 score, higher is better, summarising a strategy across several dimensions at once.
- Shown on the metrics view as one headline figure with its Strong / Fair / Weak tier.
- Marked "Beta" while the feature is being refined.
- Treat it as an at-a-glance summary, then open the individual metrics to see the detail behind it.
What does it look like in practice?
Two strategies both look reasonable on their headline return. One earns a Fincanva score of 3.8 — Strong — because it holds up across the several dimensions the score weighs together. The other earns 1.6 — Weak — because one or more of those dimensions drags it down. The score flags that the second strategy is worth a closer look before you rely on it; to see what dragged it down, open the individual metrics behind the score.
A Fincanva score is not a rating to buy, hold or follow anything, and no score is a threshold to invest above.
