BeeHive open-end and exchange-traded products are costlier than similarly distributed funds at other highly-rated asset managers, on average in the second most expensive quintile of category peers. The higher expense profile contributes negatively to the firm's overall stewardship rating and creates a larger performance hurdle. BeeHive management has lacked continuity over the past five years, denoted by higher-than-average portfolio manager turnover, which detracts from the firm's stewardship rating. On average, BeeHive's longest-tenured portfolio managers have accrued 11 years of tenure. This level of manager experience should give investors confidence in the group's ability to handle differing market conditions.
In an increasingly competitive industry, BeeHive falls behind on a number of key metrics, resulting in a Below Average Parent Pillar rating.
