Longest-tenured managers have three years of average asset-weighted tenure, which is slim compared with peer firms. In isolation, this does n't bode well as the current managers have limited experience running strategies. 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 second 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. Turnover among Rareview Capital portfolio management ranks has been low compared to other firms in the past five years. This stability on the personnel front boosts confidence in its staying power.
In an increasingly competitive industry, Rareview Capital falls behind on a number of key metrics, resulting in a Below Average Parent Pillar rating.
