Emerging Markets Equities

  • JOHCM Emerging Markets Opportunities Fund (JOEMX)

    For fund managers James Syme, Paul Wimborne and Ada Chan, identifying the most attractive emerging markets in which to invest is the most important influence on investment performance. Through an extensive process that focuses on growth, liquidity, currency, management/politics and valuations, they produce country allocation targets for each of the 20+ countries within the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. Complementing their top-down view is a stock selection process that focuses on identifying quality growth stocks within their favored countries. The result is a large-cap biased portfolio of 50-60 stocks.

International Equities

  • JOHCM International Opportunities Fund (JOPSX)

    The JOHCM International Opportunities Fund is managed by Ben Leyland, senior fund manager, and Robert Lancastle, fund manager, supported by dedicated analyst Jasmeet Munday. The team seeks to generate high risk-adjusted returns with volatility below that of the broad market by focusing on high-quality, cash-flow-generative companies. They blend the best of quality investing with the best of value investing in order to avoid the two major sources of capital destruction at market turning points: overvaluation and overleverage. They prioritize businesses with strong franchises, strong balance sheets and the ability to create shareholder value by reinvesting in areas of competitive advantage, but they only commit capital where they see a favorable risk/reward ratio, i.e., limited downside and substantial upside on a 3- to 5-year horizon. They emphasize absolute rather than relative returns and are prepared to hold up to 20% cash in the fund when valuations are unattractive.

  • JOHCM International Select Fund (JOHIX)

    Fund managers Christopher Lees and Nudgem Richyal believe stock markets are inefficient and aim to exploit market anomalies via an investment process that combines both top-down and bottom-up research. Their intuitive “4-Dimensional” investment process (stocks, sectors, countries, time/change) focuses on the behavior of each share price to determine whether the most important driver of each prospective investment is stock specific, sector or country-based. The fund invests in both developed international and emerging markets, with the fund managers frequently drawing upon the stocks ideas generated by JOHCM’s regional equity teams.

TSW

  • TSW High Yield Bond Fund (TSWHX)

    To fund manager Bill Bellamy, high yield bonds are an often misunderstood and overlooked asset class. With the help of analysts David McMackin and Chuck Finley, the team seeks to identify opportunities in high yield corporate credit that generates strong current income and total return potential per unit of risk taken. As a boutique manager, the team combines fundamental credit work, relative value analysis, and a macroeconomic overlay in portfolio construction. Focus is placed on higher quality non-investment grade credit (primarily BB and B rated) although positions in CCC bonds are opportunistically added when risk/reward is believed favorable.

The information contained herein: (1) is proprietary to Morningstar and/or its content providers; (2) may not be copied or distributed; and (3) is not warranted to be accurate, complete, or timely. Neither Morningstar nor its content providers are responsible for any damages or losses arising from any use of this information. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The Morningstar Rating™ for funds, or “star rating”, is calculated for managed products (including mutual funds, variable annuity and variable life subaccounts, exchange traded funds, closed-end funds, and separate accounts) with at least a three-year history. xchange-traded funds and open-ended mutual funds are considered a single population for comparative purposes. It is calculated based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a managed product’s monthly excess performance, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of products in each product category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. The Overall Morningstar Rating for a managed product is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. The weights are: 100% three-year rating for 36 59 months of total returns, 60% five-year rating/40% three-year rating for 60 119 months of total returns, and 50% 10-year rating/30% five-year rating/20% three-year rating for 120 or more months of total returns. While the 10-year overall star rating formula seems to give the most weight to the 10-year period, the most recent three-year period actually has the greatest impact because it is included in all three rating periods. Ratings are for the share class shown only; other classes may vary.

The Morningstar Analyst Rating™ is not a credit or risk rating. It is a subjective evaluation performed by Morningstar’s manager research group, which consists of various Morningstar, Inc. subsidiaries (“Manager Research Group”). In the United States, that subsidiary is Morningstar Research Services LLC, which is registered with and governed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The Manager Research Group evaluates funds based on five key pillars, which are process, performance, people, parent, and price. The Manager Research Group uses this five-pillar evaluation to determine how they believe funds are likely to perform relative to a benchmark over the long term on a risk adjusted basis. They consider quantitative and qualitative factors in their research. For actively managed strategies, people and process each receive a 45% weighting in their analysis, while parent receives a 10% weighting. For passive strategies, process receives an 80% weighting, while people and parent each receive a 10% weighting. For both active and passive strategies, performance has no explicit weight as it is incorporated into the analysis of people and process; price at the share-class level (where applicable) is directly subtracted from an expected gross alpha estimate derived from the analysis of the other pillars. The impact of the weighted pillar scores for people, process and parent on the final Analyst Rating is further modified by a measure of the dispersion of historical alphas among relevant peers. For certain peer groups where standard benchmarking is not applicable, primarily peer groups of funds using alternative investment strategies, the modification by alpha dispersion is not used. The Analyst Rating scale is Gold, Silver, Bronze, Neutral, and Negative. For active funds, a Morningstar Analyst Rating of Gold, Silver, or Bronze reflects the Manager Research Group’s expectation that an active fund will be able to deliver positive alpha net of fees relative to the standard benchmark index assigned to the Morningstar category. The level of the rating relates to the level of expected positive net alpha relative to Morningstar category peers for active funds. For passive funds, a Morningstar Analyst Rating of Gold, Silver, or Bronze reflects the Manager Research Group’s expectation that a fund will be able to deliver a higher alpha net of fees than the lesser of the relevant Morningstar category median or 0. The level of the rating relates to the level of expected net alpha relative to Morningstar category peers for passive funds. For certain peer groups where standard benchmarking is not applicable, primarily peer groups of funds using alternative investment strategies, a Morningstar Analyst Rating of Gold, Silver, or Bronze reflects the Manager Research Group’s expectation that a fund will deliver a weighted pillar score above a predetermined threshold within its peer group. Analyst Ratings ultimately reflect the Manager Research Group’s overall assessment, are overseen by an Analyst Rating Committee, and are continuously monitored and reevaluated at least every 14 months.

The Morningstar Analyst Rating (i) should not be used as the sole basis in evaluating a fund, (ii) involves unknown risks and uncertainties which may cause the Manager Research Group’s expectations not to occur or to differ significantly from what they expected, and (iii) should not be considered an offer or solicitation to buy or sell the fund.

The Morningstar Medalist Rating for funds is the summary expression of our forward-looking analysis of investment strategies as offered via the specific vehicles under coverage. Vehicles can include but are not limited to open-end funds, closed-end funds, exchange-traded funds, and separately managed accounts domiciled throughout the world. We assign Morningstar Medalist Ratings at the share-class level for the vehicles that we cover in order to accurately capture the impact of fee differences on expected net-of-fee alpha between different classes of the same vehicle. Our own research and academic studies have repeatedly shown that the ability of a strategy to outperform is eroded as fees become higher. We therefore believe it is essential that our analysis include as precise an evaluation as possible of the fees of each specific vehicle under coverage. For open-end funds, for example, this means that share classes of the same fund that charge different amounts may receive different Morningstar Medalist Ratings.

The Morningstar Medalist Rating for funds is expressed on a five-tier scale running from Gold to Negative. For actively managed funds, the top three ratings of Gold, Silver, and Bronze all indicate that our analysts expect the rated investment vehicle to produce positive alpha relative to its Morningstar Category index over the long term, meaning a period of at least five years. For passive strategies, the same ratings indicate that we expect the fund to deliver alpha relative to its Morningstar Category index that is above the lesser of the category median or zero over the long term. The Medalist Rating does not express a view on a given asset class or peer group; rather, it seeks to evaluate each strategy and associated vehicle within the context of an appropriate benchmark and peer group.

Ratings for active strategies should be interpreted as follows, where performance expectations refer to performance over a holding period of at least five years, and where alpha is calculated relative to the standard Morningstar category index:

Gold

These are our top recommendations within their Morningstar Categories. Our evaluation of their key pillars in the context of the fees charged at the share-class level ranks them in the top 15% of all investments with expected positive net-of-fee alpha in their category.

Silver

These sit just below Gold but are also among our strongest investment ideas within their Morningstar Categories. Our evaluation of their key pillars in the context of the fees charged at the share-class level ranks them in the next 35% of all vehicles with expected positive net-of-fee alpha in their category.

Bronze

We do not expect these investments to perform as well as Gold or Silver offerings, but we still expect them to deliver positive net-of-fee alpha. Our evaluation of their key pillars in the context of the fees charged at the share-class level ranks them in the bottom 50% of all vehicles with expected positive net-of-fee alpha in their category.

Neutral

We expect these investments to deliver net-of-fee alpha that is less than or equal to zero. Our evaluation of their key pillars in the context of the fees charged at the share-class level ranks them in the top 70% of all vehicles with net-of-fee alpha less than or equal to zero in their category.

Negative

These are the worst investments within their Morningstar Categories in terms of our expected net-of-fee alpha. Our evaluation of their key pillars at the price level for the rated vehicle and associated share class(es) ranks them in the bottom 30% of all vehicles with expected net-of-fee alpha that is less than or equal to zero in their category.

Morningstar may also use one other designation in place of a rating:

Under Review

This designation means that a change at a rated strategy requires further review to determine the impact on the rating.
