Contextualize the market
A Brand-New Way to See Portfolios
Morningstar Direct Lens is a new experience that lets you create, edit, and analyze portfolios quickly and efficiently using a clear, intuitive interface. Lens was built from the ground up to help modern portfolio managers construct and analyze investment strategies before they hit the market, or and continuing to optimize them after they launch. Users spend less time flipping between windows and applications and more time adding value by saving time, saving money, and eliminating the need for additional technology stacks and data systems.

Meet Mo
Mo is a digital research assistant that puts Morningstar’s research just a question away. Drawing from our extensive investment data and research library (including every article published for Morningstar.com), Mo is designed to surface and summarize our independent insights in a conversational format for investors and investment professionals alike. It can do what no human can: read and recall the hundreds of thousands of research reports Morningstar produces, in seconds. Mo does not provide investment advice.
The beta-test version of Mo can be used today in Direct Compass, which is included in every Morningstar Direct license. There is no additional charge to use Mo.
