M* Explains Its Medals


In the Olympics, its pretty easy to know why someone wins a medal — they cross the finish line first, jump the highest, or hit the most targets. With mutual fund medals from Morningstar, it can be a bit more murky.

Director of mutual fund research Russel Kinnel looks to clear some of that up in today's Fund Spy column:
We try to help you by focusing on long-term competitive advantages such as management, fund company, expenses, strategy, and long-term performance.

If you want to tilt your portfolio to emerging markets or make a bet on inflation resurging, we can point you to good funds that can fill that role, but we won't tell you how to tilt your portfolio.
