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. A detractor from the firm's rating is its lower-than-average portfolio management retention over the past five years, as elevated turnover bears watching. On average, WOA's longest-tenured portfolio managers have accrued 12 years of tenure. This level of manager experience should give investors confidence in the group's ability to handle differing market conditions.
In an increasingly competitive industry, WOA falls behind on a number of key metrics, resulting in a Below Average Parent Pillar rating.
