One notable advantage of Bridge Builder is its below-average fees. On average, the firm's open-end and exchange-traded fund fees fall in the lowest quintile of category peers. A negative contributor to Bridge Builder's rating is its lower-than-average portfolio management retention over the past five years, as elevated turnover bears watching. With an average tenure of six years among the longest-tenured managers at Bridge Builder, the firm is on par with peers. Seasoned teams tend to have more experience to draw upon should they need to weather turbulent market conditions.
In a competitive industry, Bridge Builder does n't differentiate itself enough, leading to an Average Parent Pillar rating.
