Auxier

A strength of Auxier is its experienced longest-tenured portfolio managers, who have accrued an average 25 years of tenure. This experience should give investors confidence in the group's ability to navigate a variety of conditions. Auxier has proven successful at retaining portfolio management talent, and providing continuity for strategies, as displayed by low turnover compared with peers over the past five years. Auxier open-end and exchange-traded products are priced, on average, among the second most-expensive quintile of similarly distributed strategies. This higher expense profile of its funds creates a larger performance hurdle and contributes negatively to Auxier's rating.
