The quantitative ratings make this judgment based on statistical models. Morningstar rates funds against each other. Rather it means that the fund has historically performed better relative to similarly situated investments.
The rating system determines whether two funds are similarly situated based on two metrics: the category of the fund and the risk involved.
Two funds are considered peers when Morningstar places them in the same category, and the returns of any two peer funds are evaluated based on the degree of risk that the fund assumed.
Safer funds which generate higher returns are considered stronger investments than more risky funds generating a comparable return. Typically funds will be listed under several broader and more narrow categories, allowing investors to compare them among several different types of investments.
A fund with a high star rating has historically outperformed other funds investing in the same category of assets with comparable levels of risk. This is an historic-looking measurement. Over the past 10 years, the fund has delivered an annualized total return of The star rating is a quantitative metric that indicates a mutual fund's historical risk-adjusted return. Funds can receive between 1 and 5 stars, with 5 being the best.
A fund loses points for having a greater "risk penalty," so if two funds return the same yield in a given period, the fund that experienced greater volatility variance in returns would be rated lower, as riskier.
A 5-star risk rating indicates that a fund has been among the market's top performers in terms of risk-adjusted return over the past three, five, or ten-year period. While star ratings provide an easy heuristic for measuring risk-adjusted return in the past, they tend to be relatively poor predictors of future performance. A research study by Vanguard found that Morningstar ratings did not predict a profitable investment relative to a fund's benchmark. Moreover, the study found that one-star funds had the greatest excess returns of all compared to their benchmarks.

They are backward-looking.
So, in a particular Morningstar category, we line up funds that behave fairly similarly, we think, based on their objectives and then you see how they have performed on a backward range. The Stars range from 1 to 5. So, that has its own inherent, kind of, labelling. Past performance isn't an indicator of future returns. So, we kind of make that caveat clear around the Star Ratings.
Wall : And then, there is the Morningstar Analyst Rating, which is a qualitative rating and does tend to give some indicator of how an investor might expect a fund to perform in the future. It is more forward-looking, isn't it? Gold, Silver, or Bronze ratings are considered positive. The Quantitative Ratings are calculated monthly. The Morningstar Sustainability Rating is a measure of how well the holdings in a portfolio are managing their environmental, social, and governance, or ESG, risks and opportunities relative to their Morningstar Category peers.
The Sustainability Rating is depicted by globe icons where High equals 5 globes and Low equals 1 globe. Sustainability Ratings are updated monthly. Investor Relations. See the most recent star ratings for free on Morningstar.
