Formulate Investment Policies
Advanced statistical capabilities in our software allow you to tailor asset allocation strategies to each client’s investment objectives, such as reducing risk or increasing returns. Our innovative research drives features like surplus optimization, or liability modeling, which you can use to help clients address payout obligations.
Filter Manager Information
Access to our timely and historical data opens your research to hundreds of thousands of investments, including separate accounts, closed-end funds, and hedge funds. You can quickly narrow the investments in our database and yours with our software to score and screen managers based on your criteria.
Conduct Manager Due Diligence
We’ll help you identify managers who meet your clients’ investment mandates, expanding on data with qualitative information, such as career histories, and easy searches for filings like Form ADV I and ADV II. In preparation for manager meetings, you can unearth critical information like changes in investment style or an investment firm’s stability.
Prepare Search Books
With help from our software, you can quickly create professional search books consistent with your firm’s brand. Customizable templates and automated reporting options not only save time, they also allow you to easily adapt the content for each client. Our detailed Manager Profiles surface biographical facts to enhance your books.
Monitor and Report Results
Through features like attribution analysis, our software helps you monitor how well your clients’ portfolios are meeting their objectives, any manager changes, and whether to adjust your asset allocation policies. For your clients in the defined benefit or defined contribution markets, we can produce investment fact sheets for custom target-date funds or other private funds.

In addition to our analyst teams, researchers at Morningstar regularly publish papers on new methodologies and findings. Investment consultants are invited to attend annual events where they can discuss innovative investment ideas with our researchers and other industry leaders.
