Process

Above Average

JPMorgan Managed Income Fund earns an Above Average Process Pillar rating.

The leading factor in the rating is the parent firm's five-year risk-adjusted success ratio of 57%. The measure indicates the percentage of a firm's funds that survived and beat their respective category's median Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return for the period. Excellent risk-adjusted performance also strengthens the process. This can be seen in the fund's five-year alpha calculated relative to the category index, which suggests that the managers have shown skill in their allocation of risk. Lastly, the process is limited by being an actively managed strategy. Historical data, such as Morningstar's Active/Passive Barometer, finds that actively managed funds have generally underperformed their passive counterparts, especially over longer time horizons.

Compared with other funds in the Ultrashort Bond Morningstar Category, this fund, historically, hews closely to peers' credit and interest-rate sensitivity over the past few years. Opening the analysis to additional factors, the portfolio has displayed biases over time, whether towards or away from certain fixed-income instruments. Compared with the average strategy in the category, the managers have been significantly underweight AAA rated bonds in recent years. In the latest month, the strategy has also relatively underweighted AAA rated bonds compared with Morningstar Category peers. Additionally, the managers have shown a sector bias away from government bonds over the past few years. Similarly, in recent months, the strategy also had less exposure to government bonds than peers. Finally, during the past few years, the fund leaned meaningfully away from debt with 20- to 30-year maturities. In recent months, the strategy also had less exposure to debt with 20- to 30-year maturities compared to its peers.

This strategy's 12-month yield is 4.9%, higher than its average peer's 4.7%. It also has a 5.3% 30-day SEC yield (a measure similar to yield-to-maturity). While a higher yield may deliver more income, it also tends to indicate higher credit risk. But that isn't always the case. Over the past 12 months, the average yield of the fund has been higher than the average yield of its Morningstar Category peers. The portfolio's average surveyed credit quality is on par with peers, with both the fund and the average being rated A.

Above Average

David N. Martucci, the longest-tenured manager on the strategy, boasts 24 years of listed portfolio management experience. The strategies they currently manage have an average Morningstar Rating of 2.8 stars, demonstrating disappointing risk-adjusted performance compared with category peers.

The team has successfully retained portfolio-manager talent, providing continuity for strategies as long-term stability tends to support positive results. There have been no documented departures within the past 10 years.

Note: The People Pillar rating is indirectly assigned by an analyst. The longest-tenured manager of the fund also manages a different product rated by an analyst. Their analyst-assigned People Pillar rating is combined here with the People scores (algorithmic or analyst-assigned) for the fund’s other managers on a tenure-weighted basis.

Above Average

As of 2022, this investment stalwart manages more than USD 2.5 trillion in AUM. Composed of various global cohorts and diverse asset classes, the firm has more tightly integrated its capabilities in recent years, notably through the development of proprietary analytical and risk systems. Investment teams are robustly staffed and helmed by seasoned contributors. The firm’s strategies tend to produce reliable portfolios, and several flagship offerings are Morningstar Medalists. Manager incentives align with fundholders'; compensation reflects longer-term performance factors, and portfolio managers invest in the firm’s strategies as part of their compensation plans.

The firm’s funds tend to be well-priced, but they aren’t as competitive as many highly regarded peers of similar scale. Recent product launches include thematic and single-country strategies, both of which carry the potential for volatile performance and flows, along with misuse by investors. The firm remains intrepid when it comes to developing an environmental, social, and governance-focused framework and continues to move into other areas such as direct indexing through its 55iP acquisition and China through its joint venture, but these complicated initiatives take time to assess any real and lasting effect.

This strategy’s Retirement share class' long-term performance is mixed depending on its comparison point.

Performance

It has provided similar returns compared with peers, but superior returns compared with the category benchmark. This share class mirrored the category average's 2.0% return over the eight-year period and its 1.6% return over a 10-year period. But it was ahead of the category index, Bloomberg Barclays Government/ Corporate 1 Year Duration Bond Index, by an annualized 54 basis points over the same 10-year period.

When adjusting for risk, this fund is competitive. The share class outstripped the index with a higher Sharpe ratio, a measure of risk-adjusted return, over the trailing 10-year period. These strong risk-adjusted results have not resulted in a bumpier ride for investors. This strategy took on similar risk as the benchmark, as measured by standard deviation. Finally, the share class proved itself effective by generating positive alpha, over the same 10-year period, against the category group index: a benchmark that encapsulates the performance of the broader asset class.
