Build Reports that Matter: 4 Tips to Tell Your Investing Story

Dry Run 7 AUG

Investors often use past returns as the holy grail for picking funds, gravitating towards top performing - 1st quartile funds basis historical short-term returns. This often ends up being counterproductive as recent top performers may not necessarily, be the top performers tomorrow due to several reasons not limited to style/size headwinds, stock specific reasons, style drift, manager changes etc. Investors tend repeat this cycle again switching out of recently invested funds that are now underperforming and reinvesting into the new recent winners. This starts a vicious cycle that leads to large behavioral gaps, resulting in a significant difference between fund returns and investor returns. We discuss the trends in persistence of fund performance.

Webinar : Persistence in Fund Performance

This workshop mainly covers –
o Presentation Studio module to learn how to create professional, custom-branded product note on a fund’s performance, risk, and portfolio breakdown.
o How to create a product note on a fund from scratch.
o How to create a batch and automate product note creation for multiple funds.

Morningstar Direct Workshop: Presentation Studio

Gone are those days when investors built portfolios on an ad-hoc basis without any real grasp of the investment strategy. Instead, they have understood that having the right investment style and strategy blend – the one that's right for you – significantly improves your chances of success and is required for an All-Weather Portfolio. And rightly so, as 'how' you invest is as important as 'what' you invest in.

Family offices and high net worth individuals are changing the investment framework and strategies at the portfolio level targeted toward creating an all-weather portfolio. The objective of an all-weather portfolio is to withstand the vagaries of economic, business and asset cycles. They are moving away from a single investment style or a buy and hold framework to a multi-investment style or core and satellite framework. 

Join us on May 13, 2022, at 4 pm as Prashant Joshi, Co-Founder and Partner, Fintrust Advisors, will take us through how family offices are managing their client wealth.

Family Office: Changing Investment Approaches

The Indian market has corrected by more than 10% from its peak on account of headwinds like Fed tapering, ongoing Ukraine Russia war, exodus of FIIs, inflation and so on.  It is during periods like this when investors realise the importance of diversification and sticking to an asset allocation based approach to investing.
Join us for an engaging chat with Kirtan Shah, Founder, Credence Wealth Advisors, to learn how asset allocation can help your clients achieve their goals. The webinar is scheduled on Tuesday, March 15, 2022, at 4 pm.

Riding Volatility Through Asset Allocation

Factor investing (FI) seeks to combine the benefits of both active and passive investing strategies. The goal is to obtain alpha (excess return of an investment relative to the return of a benchmark index), and to increase diversification at a cost lower than traditional active management, albeit marginally higher than straight index investing.

Some of the factors are size, style (or value-growth), quality, yield, liquidity, volatility, and momentum. 

Learn what factor investing is all about and how investors can leverage FI in their portfolio to generate alpha from Prashant Joshi, Co-Founder & Partner, Fintrust Advisors LLP, in an interactive webinar on February 16, 2022, at 4 pm.

Leveraging Factor Investing In Your Portfolio To Generate Alpha

At a time when ESG considerations are increasingly part of investment and portfolio construction decisions, there is a need among fund managers to communicate a credible signal that demonstrate their ESG performance. Based on Sustainalytics’ company research, Morningstar's fund ratings can help managers communicate and market the sustainability credentials of their funds to wealth managers and retail investors.

The Morningstar Sustainability Rating is a consistent and objective way for investors to evaluate mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and insurance funds based on their environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) impact.

The Morningstar Sustainability Rating helps investors understand the vulnerability of their investment portfolios to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors. The Sustainability Rating is depicted by globe icons where a low ESG risk score equals 5 globes and a high ESG risk score equals 1 globe. 

We discuss the methodology of the ESG Risk ratings, Morningstar Sustainability Ratings and the various ESG data points to evaluate strategies.

Join us for a live webinar with Kasutubh Belapurkar, Morningstar, on Wednesday, 9 February at 4 PM, followed by a Q&A session.

Secrets of Practice Management Success

When it comes to ratings and analytics in the ESG landscape, Sustainalytics is one of the oldest,
largest and most influential players. It provides data on 40,000 companies with ratings on 13,000 of
those, as well as monitor 172 countries.
At the core of the research is the understanding that material ESG issues play a central role in a
risk-based approach to valuation. Analysis is conducted on whether companies are involved in
controversies such as human rights abuses and environmental mishaps. Besides quantifying ethical
dilemmas, the analysts evaluate the long-term risks, how much of that risk is well managed by a
company, and how much remains unmanaged.
A look at how the research translates into company-level ESG ratings.

Morningstar ESG Conclave - Session 1 - Understanding and Interpreting ESG

Over the past few years, there has been a paradigm shift in how ESG is being perceived. It has
evolved from an exclusionary form of investing to a much more visionary and inclusive outlook.
ESG investing does not propose being good for goodness’s sake, it advocates being good in order to
become rich. It gravitates towards higher quality companies with a stronger balance sheet,
companies that are run better and operate more efficiently.
As investors accelerate into sustainable investments, what must they be aware of and what
misconceptions must be laid to rest?

Morningstar ESG Conclave - Session 2 - Why ESG is here to stay

Surging investor appetite for sustainable investments means that rules on disclosure will become
increasingly important.
This year, the EU Sustainable Finance Disclosures Regulation came into effect. New European rules
on climate and other sustainable-finance issues require asset managers to disclose the potential
harm their investments could do to the environment and society. The Biden Administration will also give expanded attention and regulation when it comes to environmental, social and governance
issues at American businesses.
What are the implications and what can we expect going ahead?

Morningstar ESG Conclave - Session 3 - The ESG Regulatory Journey

The coronavirus has splintered the world economy, exposing social responsibility and governance
fault lines across continents. This is a crisis unlike anything we’ve seen. Consequently, social and
governance elements are going to be more important when it comes to looking for investing
opportunities. How is the ESG investing landscape evolving in India?
With no standardized definition of ESG criteria, they are often adjusted depending on the
perception of asset management companies. Firms also develop their own methodology to assign
ESG ratings.
A look at the challenges and opportunities.

Morningstar ESG Conclave - Session 4 - Is India ready for ESG?

Strong GDP growth, robust corporate earnings, and significant market rally backed by ample market liquidity and increased participation of domestic retail investors has led emerging market funds to increase their allocation to Indian equities. Additionally, the underperformance of Chinese equities, entangled in domestic macroeconomic challenges, has amplified this shift. 
 
While many of our analyst rated funds in global emerging-markets category have generally increased their exposure to India in line with the increasing weight of India in the Emerging Market Indices, there are some managers that have reduced their relative exposure as well.  Join us on 8th August to discuss factors that have driven India allocation considerations within the Emerging Market Landscape and the nuanced approach that managers have taken."
