Morningstar chief product officer Tricia Rothschild said: “Manager research teams are facing increasing scrutiny around due diligence and the manager selection process to prove they are aligned to their clients’ needs.

“By streamlining communication through one platform, manager researchers, due diligence teams, and portfolio strategists can collaborate and connect with client-facing advisors in real time in order to share critical updates across firm locations.

“This new edition of Morningstar Direct Cloud showcases a new workflow for wealth management users and our ongoing investment in proprietary data and research.”
