Channel Investment Partners fails to live up to one of the hallmarks of stewardship, manager investment, to help align portfolio manager and shareholder interests. None of the firm’s assets are covered by an invested manager. Open-end and exchange-traded fund fees are a weakness at the firm, contributing negatively to the rating. On average, the firm charges fees on its funds that are in the most expensive quintile of category peers. With the current market environment of fee compression, this is cause for concern, as investors may flock to alternate asset managers over time to get a better deal. Finally, a strength of the firm is its very competitive risk-adjusted performance. Its open-end and exchange-traded strategies average a five-year Morningstar Rating of 5.0 stars.
