Weakness in Vontobel Asia ex Japan C USD's Process and People Pillar ratings limits this strategy to a Morningstar Medalist Rating of Negative. Fees are a weakness here. The strategy's lofty fees are a high hurdle to clear, as it is priced within the highest quintile among peers.



The strategy receives a Low Process Pillar rating. Independent of the rating, analysis of the strategy's portfolio shows it has maintained a significant overweight position in quality exposure and an underweight in liquidity exposure compared with category peers. A high quality exposure means holding stocks that are consistently profitable, growing, and have solid balance sheets. And a low liquidity exposure is rooted in stocks with lower trading volumes, limiting managers' flexibility. The strategy's portfolio management team has comparable experience to other strategies in the industry. However, due to other weaknesses, the strategy earns a Low People Pillar rating. The strategy's parent organization earns the firm an Average Parent Pillar rating, and this rating is inherited from vehicles belonging to the same branding entity and is indirectly assigned by an analyst.
