Behavioral Science at Morningstar
We study how people make financial decisions and the obstacles they face in making effective choices. Our goal is to better understand investors—who they are, what it means for them to succeed, and how we can guide them along the way—then apply these insights to help investors reach their financial goals.

Identify Trends in Investment Popularity and Track Investor Preference
Developed using research from the Morningstar Behavioral Sciences team, Crowd Sense is a new retail dataset focused on making behaviors and interests more tangible so that investors can make the best investment selection when researching new funds.
