None of the firm’s assets are covered by an invested manager. Team members’ investments are regarded as helping to encourage long-term thinking and align portfolio manager and investor interests. Longest-tenured managers’ average asset-weighted tenure within the firm is slim, two years, compared with peer firms. This contributes negatively to the rating, as the current managers have limited experience running strategies at the firm. The Robo Global five-year success ratio stands out versus its peers. In particular, 100% of its products have survived and beaten their respective category median over the past five years.
In an increasingly competitive industry, Robo Global falls behind on a number of key metrics, resulting in a Below Average Parent Pillar rating.
