We recommend users form their own views on it or obtain financial advice.
 

Strength in BGF Latin American E2's People Pillar is partially offset by an Average Process Pillar rating, leading to a Morningstar Medalist Rating of Neutral. Fees are a weakness here. The strategy's lofty fees are a high hurdle to clear, as it is priced within the most expensive quintile among peers.



The strategy earns an Average Process Pillar rating. Independent of the rating, analysis of the strategy's portfolio shows it has maintained an overweight in yield exposure and liquidity exposure compared with category peers. High yield exposure is attributed to holding more stocks with high dividend or buyback yields. And a high liquidity exposure is rooted in stocks with higher trading volumes, lending managers more flexibility. The strategy's entire management team changed less than two years ago. The strategy's new leadership earns an Above Average People Pillar rating. The strategy's parent organization earns the firm an Above Average Parent Pillar rating, and this rating is inherited from vehicles belonging to the same branding entity and is indirectly assigned by an analyst.

The assessment turns on three key “pillars” – People, Process, and Parent – that yield an estimate of how well a fund will perform before fees but after adjusting for risk.
