U.S. Global Investors Parent Rating

Below Average
Morningstar Manager Research

U.S. Global Investors fails to meet industry-standard stewardship qualities, culminating in a Below Average Parent Pillar rating.

The risk-adjusted performance of the firm's open-end and exchange-traded funds does not stack up well versus their competitors, with an average 10-year Morningstar Rating of 2.3 stars. The firm has not had a durable product lineup. Specifically, its 10-year risk-adjusted success ratio demonstrates that only 17% of products both survived and beat their respective category median on a risk-adjusted basis. A low success ratio indicates poor performance and raises questions about a firm’s discipline around investment strategy and product development. The firm charges fees on its open-end and exchange-traded funds that are on par with category peers. On average, fees on its funds are within the middle quintile, giving it neither an advantage nor disadvantage compared with the competition.
