Morningstar's valuation-driven approach to actively manage risk will be used for the program’s asset allocation decisions.
The program will feature five target risk portfolios, which feature third-party funds selected based on the research capabilities of Morningstar along with its affiliates. Continuing asset allocation decisions will be made using a valuation-driven approach proprietary to Morningstar, allowing active risk management and improved return potential.
Bridgehouse Asset Managers president and COO Carol Lynde said: "The unique aspect of the Morningstar Managed Investments Program will be the ability to access third-party funds in a portfolio that actively manages risk and return potential.
"We also plan to incorporate tools to promote better advisor/investor communication including a Risk Appetite Questionnaire, which is a risk assessment tool and an Investment Policy Statement that will help investors understand their investment behaviour and their portfolio better."
