WesMark

WesMark open-end and exchange-traded products are costlier than similarly distributed funds at other highly-rated asset managers, on average in the second most expensive quintile of category peers. The higher expense profile contributes negatively to the firm's overall stewardship rating and creates a larger performance hurdle. With an average asset-weighted tenure of nine years among the longest-tenured managers at WesMark, the firm is on par with peers. Seasoned teams tend to have more experience to draw upon should they need to weather turbulent market conditions.
