MainGate Funds

MainGate Funds has undergone a bout of turnover in the past five years, as seen in its lower-than-average portfolio manager retention. This is a concern, as long-term stability tends to support positive results. Fees on open-end and exchange-traded funds are a weakness of the firm, contributing negatively to the rating. On average, expenses on its funds are within the second most-expensive quintile compared with category peers. With the current market environment of fee compression, this is cause for concern, as investors may flock over time to alternate asset managers to get a better deal.
