Mark Your Calendar for the 2022 Midyear Portfolio Review

Jun 30, 2022

Hi, I'm Christine Benz. I'm director of personal finance and retirement planning for Morningstar.

This year has been a nerve-wracking one for investors. We've had rising interest rates and inflation, which have contributed to stocks and bonds falling simultaneously. In an upcoming webcast, I'll be discussing how to check up on your portfolio at midyear. I'll recap which investment categories have actually performed well this year, and the many that haven't. More important, I'll discuss how to check up on your own portfolio's positioning: its asset allocation and suballocations and its sensitivity to further interest-rate changes. I'll also delve into how to make sure your portfolio is positioned to defend against a looming inflationary and recessionary threat. I'll also discuss some tax changes to consider. Please join us.

Watch my "Midyear Portfolio Checkup" webcast on Morningstar.com starting at noon on Wednesday, July 6.

Transparency is our policy. Learn how it impacts everything we do

Transparency is how we protect the integrity of our work and keep empowering investors to achieve their goals and dreams. And we have unwavering standards for how we keep that integrity intact, from our research and data to our policies on content and your personal data.

We’d like to share more about how we work and what drives our day-to-day business.

How we make money

We sell different types of products and services to both investment professionals and individual investors. These products and services are usually sold through license agreements or subscriptions. Our investment management business generates asset-based fees, which are calculated as a percentage of assets under management. We also sell both admissions and sponsorship packages for our investment conferences and advertising on our websites and newsletters.

How we use your personal data

How we use your information depends on the product and service that you use and your relationship with us. We may use it to:

Verify your identity, personalize the content you receive, or create and administer your account.
Provide specific products and services to you, such as portfolio management or data aggregation.
Develop and improve features of our offerings.
Gear advertisements and other marketing efforts towards your interests.

How we approach editorial content

Maintaining independence and editorial freedom is essential to our mission of empowering investor success. We provide a platform for our authors to report on investments fairly, accurately, and from the investor’s point of view. We also respect individual opinions––they represent the unvarnished thinking of our people and exacting analysis of our research processes. Our authors can publish views that we may or may not agree with, but they show their work, distinguish facts from opinions, and make sure their analysis is clear and in no way misleading or deceptive.

To further protect the integrity of our editorial content, we keep a strict separation between our sales teams and authors to remove any pressure or influence on our analyses and research.
