Building investor confidence with integrity
We’re evaluating investments from the viewpoint of an investor. You can use our independent metrics to validate important details about your funds—like how your funds stack up to their peers or if we expect them to outperform over a full market cycle.

Expanded coverage to move the industry forward
~What do investors care about? Their preferences change over time. We too are constantly evolving, from our new sustainability metrics to the Morningstar Quantitative Rating^TM for funds.

Showing the power of a fund beyond its returns
There’s no limit to what you can do. With access to our full lineup of ratings and research you can promote the strengths of your fund in new ways, like pointing out its manager’s distinct approach to stock picking or to provide context for a rating.
