1 All about OBSR Everything we do is underpinned by independent, in-depth research conducted with integrity.
2 History of OBSR, a Morningstar company OBSR was established in 1999 following a management buy-out of the research business within Buck Consultants. From these beginnings a company was built that helps intermediaries understand investment funds and find products to meet their client needs. In 2002, OBSR launched the UK Fund Ratings service widely acknowledged to be the leading fund ratings service of its type in the industry. The company grew organically over the following years launching new services and products and in 2008 OBSR acquired the global research business from Crosby Forsyth. This move was the foundation for the OBSR Global Fund Ratings service, which was set up in In 2009, OBSR reviewed its business strategy and sought to broaden the range of capabilities it could offer to it s clients. As a result in April 2010, OBSR was acquired by Morningstar, which further expands the information, skills and services available to OBSR consultancy clients. OBSR has continually evolved to become a leading business that is synonymous with high-quality retail investment research and consultancy services and is staffed by respected individuals from all areas of financial services.
3 An introduction to our business OBSR is a research-led consultancy business operating solely in the financial services arena. Our purpose is to help financial services businesses find the funds and services that enable them to deliver the right investment solutions to their clients. In order to achieve that, our company is solely focused on independent, in-depth research and consultancy, conducted with integrity. Our client base includes many of the best-known firms in the industry. We offer services and solutions to fund managers, product providers, wraps and platforms, large distribution firms and financial advisers. OBSR aims to be the most-trusted investment consultancy and research company for advisers and product providers and the most-respected investment research company by fund managers. If you would like to discuss how our expertise can help your business, please visit or call us on
4 What makes us different? We are completely independent We look at all managers, focusing solely on the requirements of our clients, and rate and recommend those that we think are the best. In order to provide unbiased research we do not charge fund managers to research their funds; we only charge a licence fee to managers wishing to publicise OBSR Fund Ratings. Of course this often means we will award ratings to fund management companies with which we have no commercial arrangement. We occupy a unique position in the industry OBSR occupies a unique place between financial advisers, product providers and fund management groups. We feel this privileged position enables us to better understand the industry s dynamics and offer solutions and services that best meet the needs of our clients. 4
5 Our research approach Our philosophy is centred on the belief that qualitative research is the best way to truly understand a fund and therefore deliver insightful, forward-looking opinions on its future prospects. It is this focus on qualitative research supported by quantitative analysis which clearly differentiates our approach from that used by many other fund research companies. Following the aquisition of OBSR by Morningstar, OBSR will lead the qualitative fund research for Morningstar in the UK, and as a result the Morningstar qualitative research team joined the OBSR team in August 2010 Our in-depth, qualitative analysis is achieved primarily through face-to-face interviews where we seek to understand how a fund is managed, what it sets out to achieve and the prospects of those objectives being met in the future. Our ultimate aim is to understand the fund as well as its manager. We take a holistic view of our fund research and interview those who have an influence on the fund. This may include those responsible for the business as a whole, for example the chief executive officer, chief investment officer, head of strategy and/or asset allocation, as well as those involved in the investment process such as heads of desk, performance analysts, risk team, and any other relevant support staff. These meetings enable us find out exactly how the fund is run and what risks are being taken. As we analyse such a wide variety of funds we aim to be flexible in our research approach. During our meetings we work within an organised framework, but we are not constrained by a fixed format or set of questions. We think it is important to consider each fund on an individual basis. There are however a number of key areas that we always cover because they are important for our understanding of a proposition, including group ownership and stability, investment philosophy and objectives, personnel, investment process, research resources and portfolio construction and risk controls. Away from fund manager interviews we use a variety of other inputs and data to inform our views, but we are not driven by the figures. They are simply useful to help inform and validate our decisions. Once we fully understand a fund we apply the OBSR Categories. These are our own unique tight peer groups that enable us to compare funds against those with similar objectives to determine whether the fund, for its type, is meeting and will continue to meet its objectives. We also undertake an ongoing programme of regular review meetings to ensure that our understanding of funds is as up-to-date as possible. We are amongst the first to know should a material change happen to a fund, such as a manager leaving. 5
6 Consultancy services and solutions Consultancy and research Investment consultancy is at the heart of what we do as an organisation, and is a natural extension of the in-depth research we conduct. Each consultancy project is unique to each client s needs, so please contact us for more information on how we may be able to help you. Strategic consultancy Because of our in-depth knowledge and experience of the retail investment market, OBSR is able to help our clients design and develop their investment propositions. We work closely with our clients to understand their clients investment needs, the competitor landscape and the regulatory environment and then we help define a differentiated investment proposition which will be at the core of the client s offering to the market. Asset Allocation Strategy The acquisition of OBSR by Morningstar enables us to offer our clients state of the art asset allocation solutions for different needs, for example, retirement planning. The expertise in asset allocation solutions available through Morningstar and Ibbotson, a subsidiary of Morningstar, are well renowned globally, and market leading.

7 Consultancy services and solutions Guided architecture solutions OBSR offers a range of solutions for distributors wishing to develop or select a range of external manager fund links. We have been instrumental in developing the investment proposition and external fund range for many institutions. This is often referred to as guided architecture.

The solutions we develop are designed to support institutions and intermediaries in conforming to the regulatory regime. Fund Ratings OBSR Fund Ratings are the crystallisation of our rigorous research process and our reputation stands or falls on the strength of them. OBSR Fund Ratings are acknowledged to be a badge of quality for consistent fund returns and thousands of advisers rely on them to select suitable funds for their clients. Our Fund Ratings are split into two areas, UK and Global. UK Fund Ratings These focus on UK authorised unit trusts, UK OEICs, multi-manager funds and UK friendly offshore funds. Typically around 10% of this universe will have been awarded an OBSR A, AA or AAA rating, although there is no set quota.
