A strength of Matrix Asset Advisors is its experienced longest-tenured portfolio managers, who have accrued an average 28 years of tenure. This experience should give investors confidence in the group's ability to navigate a variety of conditions. Fees on open-end and exchange-traded funds are a weakness of the firm, contributing negatively to the rating. On average, expenses on its funds are within the second most-expensive quintile compared with category peers. With the current market environment of fee compression, this is cause for concern, as investors may flock over time to alternate asset managers to get a better deal.
Matrix Asset Advisors has some investor-friendly attributes, but other attributes warrant caution, leading to an Average Parent Pillar rating.
