Core Insights - Morningstar was founded in the 1980s by Joe Mansueto to bridge the information gap between ordinary investors and professionals, emphasizing the importance of high-quality data and independent research [1] - Since entering China in 2003, Morningstar has combined global methodologies with local market insights, providing independent research support as the only foreign institution qualified for fund ratings in the country [1] Group 1: Investment Principles - Morningstar adheres to three core investment principles: focusing on investors, maintaining a fundamental analysis approach, and recognizing the importance of fees [2] - The company has conducted three key studies to enhance investor experience: "Fund Fees and Future Success Rates," "Active vs. Passive Weather Vane," and "Investor Return Gap" [2] Group 2: Fund Fees and Future Success Rates Study - The study indicates that fund fees are the most critical predictor of future performance, with lower fees correlating to a higher likelihood of outperforming peers and long-term survival [4] - Both in the U.S. and China, funds with lower fees tend to have better performance and survival rates, while larger fund sizes generally lead to lower fees [4] Group 3: Active vs. Passive Weather Vane Study - This research aims to reveal the probability of active funds outperforming passive funds in different market environments [9] - Over the past decade in the U.S., passive funds have significantly outperformed active funds across various market sectors, while in China, the success rate of active large-cap balanced equity funds has notably declined [10] Group 4: Investor Return Gap Study - The "Investor Return Gap" study explores why actual investor returns often lag behind fund performance, attributing this to factors like poor timing decisions [14] - The research shows significant disparities in return gaps across different asset classes, closely linked to the volatility of those assets, with higher volatility assets generally exhibiting larger return gaps for investors [14]
