How We Support Your Work
Portfolio Construction
Whether you are implementing managed accounts or using technology to support model portfolio implementation in your advice firm, our team supports the entire portfolio value chain. From investment philosophy, governance framework, strategic asset allocation and manager selection, to ongoing reporting and monitoring. Morningstar has 10 years of experience in portfolio construction with our Best Ideas Portfolios built by the Manager Research Team.
Approved Product List Management
Consolidating, monitoring, and maintaining an APL can be a challenging exercise—we can assist with removing manual work in the investment management and due diligence process. We’ll work closely with you to deliver a list of managed products that can evolve over time. Our large Australasian Manager Research Team has an average of 15 years’ experience and has been producing qualitative manager research and ratings since 1999.
Investment Committee Participation
Lead analysts from our Manager Research Team are available to participate in Investment Committee meetings, with the frequency determined by you. Leverage the global research analyst team and sector specialists that cover thousands of funds and have deep knowledge of managers and strategies. Analysts will provide sector overviews, economic updates, and highlight funds with rating changes. This complements our Portfolio and APL Management services.
Custom Reporting
Model reporting is crucial for client engagement and transparency. Our team will develop tailored branded reports that can be used with clients. In an age where information needs to be accessible at our fingertips, clients expect the same when it comes to their investments. If done right, reporting solutions offer the opportunity for advisers and licensees to improve client trust and raise client relationships to the next level.
Sustainable Investing
As the advice industry continues to transition to a goal-based and client centric model, sustainable investing will be core to the adviser offering and the value of advice. Work with our team to build a custom list of suitable funds and ETFs well positioned to cause positive change in environmental, social or governance issues and meet the sustainable investing expectations of end investors.
