The firm's lasting product shelf is its strength. Its five-year risk-adjusted success ratio of 100% means that 100% of its strategies have both survived and beaten their respective category median on a risk-adjusted basis. A high success ratio indicates good performance and provides insight into a firm’s discipline around investment strategy and product development. A negative contributor to USCF's rating is its lower-than-average portfolio management retention over the past five years, as elevated turnover bears watching. USCF's longest-tenured managers do not possess comparable experience as teams at other firms, a cause for concern. Specifically, average tenure within the firm is two years. As such, there is less confidence in the group's ability to manage capital through a full market cycle effectively.
USCF's track record as a steward is mixed, leading to an Average Parent Pillar rating.
