The experienced longest-tenured portfolio management at Monetta is a core advantage over global asset management peers. With 28 years of average tenure across the management group, it is clear they've been put through their paces. Open-end and exchange-traded fund fees are a weakness at the firm, contributing negatively to the rating. On average, the firm charges fees on its funds that are in the highest quintile of category peers. With the current market environment of fee compression, this is cause for concern, as investors may flock to alternate asset managers over time to get a better deal. The firm has not had a durable product lineup. Specifically, its three-year success ratio demonstrates that only 0% of products were both able to survive and beat their respective category median. A low success ratio indicates poor performance and raises questions about a firm’s discipline around investment strategy and product development.
Monetta has some investor-friendly attributes, but other attributes warrant caution, leading to an Average Parent Pillar rating.
