Morningstar to Unite Two Forward-Looking Rating Systems into One: The Morningstar Medalist Rating

Wednesday, August 31, 2022

CHICAGO, Aug. 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Morningstar, Inc. (Nasdaq: MORN), a leading provider of independent investment research, today announced plans to unite its two forward-looking managed investment ratings—the Morningstar Analyst Rating™ (Analyst Rating) and the Morningstar Quantitative Rating™ for funds (Quantitative Rating)—into a single rating: The Morningstar Medalist Rating™ (Medalist Rating). This change is slated to take place in the second quarter of 2023."Over the last decade, the Morningstar Analyst Rating and Morningstar Quantitative Rating have empowered investor success by accurately sorting funds based on future performance relative to a benchmark or its peers. By combining these two ratings, we are building on that strength while also simplifying the way we present information to investors," said Lee Davidson, head of manager and quantitative research at Morningstar. "This should make it easier for investors to analyze, select, and monitor managed investments amid an ever-expanding sea of choices."Currently, Morningstar conducts forward-looking assessments of managed investments in two ways: Manager research analysts qualitatively assess managed investments they cover, with those assessments culminating in the Analyst Rating, which takes the form of Gold, Silver, Bronze, Neutral and Negative. Morningstar uses algorithmic techniques to assess managed investments that analysts do not cover. Those quantitative assessments underpin the Quantitative Rating, which takes the form of GoldQ, SilverQ, BronzeQ, NeutralQ, and NegativeQ.  By uniting the Analyst Rating and Quantitative Rating under the Medalist Rating banner, Morningstar will move to a common ratings scale of Gold, Silver, Bronze, Neutral and Negative, removing the superscript "Q" designation from the ratings of managed investments assessed quantitatively.The Analyst Rating and Quantitative Rating methodologies will not change and the three pillars—People, Process, and Parent—will continue to form the basis for the ratings. However, to help investors distinguish between pillars assessed by analysts and those assessed quantitatively, Morningstar will continue to apply the superscript "Q" designation to pillar ratings assigned quantitatively.

Key Points: 
  • The change will combine the Morningstar Analyst Rating with the Morningstar Quantitative Rating, making it even simpler for investors to research and select best-in-class managed investments
