The higher expense profile contributes negatively to the firm's overall stewardship rating and creates a larger performance hurdle.

Seasoned teams tend to have more experience to draw upon should they need to weather turbulent market conditions. Intrepid has faced above-average manager turnover in the past five years. This is a concern, as long-term stability tends to support positive results.
