Weakness in Templeton European Opps N(acc)EUR'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 most expensive quintile among peers. The strategy gets a Low Process Pillar rating. Independent of the rating, analysis of the strategy's portfolio shows it has maintained a significant underweight position in momentum exposure and quality exposure compared with category peers. Momentum is the premise that stocks that have recently outperformed will continue to do so. With low momentum exposure, the portfolio is holding stocks that managers believe to be undervalued. And a low quality exposure is rooted in stocks with higher financial leverage and lower profitability. The longest-tenured manager's limited experience is a weakness that contributes to the strategy's Below Average People Pillar rating, following a recent upgrade from Low. 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. | ||
