About Us
We’re all in for investors.
Morningstar is a leading source of independent investment research for stocks, funds, ETF's, credit, and LIC's as well as financial data, news, investing tools.
It started with an idea—one great idea from a 27-year-old stock analyst. Joe Mansueto thought it was unfair that people didn’t have access to the same information as financial professionals. So he hired a few people and set up shop in his apartment—to deliver investment research to everyone. We didn’t know then what the company would look like today, but we knew the commitment to our mission—to empower investor success—wouldn’t change. Now, we operate through wholly- or majority-owned subsidiaries in 32 countries. We’ve empowered investors all over the world, and we’re continuing to look for new ways to help people achieve financial security.
Our research is independent, which means we do not charge or accept payment or commissions from fund managers, listed companies or other product issuers to produce research on their products. Our mission remains true today, 39 years after that one great idea – we believe in the democratization of investment information, research and data. Our mission is at the core of everything we do – to empower investor success.

How to choose an ETF
It is important to understand who is managing your money. There are a few considerations in our ETF analysis, some obvious, like tThe amount of experience the team has in managing ETFs. Analysts also tend to favour parent firms that put investors’ interests ahead of commercial goals and monitor how the ETF is trading on the exchange. ETFs sometimes trade with wider than normal buy/sell spreads, or deviate substantially from their net asset value, or NAV, which can jack up the costs to investors.
PriceMorningstar analysts consider explicit costs like the expense ratio, and implicit costs like the cost of portfolio turnover. We understand the significance of fees and costs, and the detrimental impact that it can have to performance outcomes. Top-rated funds are among the lowest cost options in their category, relative to their actively and passively managed peers.
ProcessFor passive products, analysts examine the fund's process – that is how the ETF are constructed, their underlying benchmarks, and the systems managers have put in place to achieve precise tracking of the benchmark.
For active funds, analysts focus on the fund mandate and distribution policies, the overall levels of transparency and how the portfolio managers attempt to minimise trading costs which can add implicit costs for investors.
PerformanceAlthough past performance is not an indicator of future performance, our analysts do consider performance in the context of evaluating people and process.
