Frequently Asked Questions
➣ Why does Morningstar’s ratings on my broker platform differ from the ones in Morningstar Investor
The research that you receive through your Morningstar Investor Membership is qualitative—our analysts have rated the stock and provided input and opinion to the final fair value. The research that you access through your broker is quantitative in nature – what this means is that the fair value is decided based on data inputs and algorithms, without weigh in from our analysts.
This is why the research and ratings may differ between your membership and your broker.
Morningstar Investor is not a broker service – it offers a different service to your broker – focusing on providing investors a holistic portfolio management tool that helps you track, monitor and maintain your investments.
➣ I receive Morningstar ratings for free from my broker. How is this product different? What is the difference if I access it directly?
The level of access to Morningstar ratings and data differs broker to broker, but in most instances, the ratings that you receive free from your broker are quantitative in nature. This means that fair value (the long-term intrinsic value of a share) that is assigned to a share is calculated based on an algorithm. As part of Morningstar Investor, you receive access to qualitative analyst research on more than 1600 stocks, forward-looking ratings on over 3,000 ETFs and managed funds.
Morningstar Investor is a holistic solution that is focused on the investor, and not the investment. It offers access to ratings, as mentioned, and data on over 48,000 securities. It also includes analyst insights and editorial thought leadership, including forecasts for ASX 200 stocks.
As part of your subscription, you also receive access to a Portfolio Manager that is powered by award winning Portfolio Tracker, Sharesight and integrated with Morningstar research and data. This is accompanied by a suite of tools and calculators to help investors reach their investing goals, including goal calculators, asset allocation models, ETF model portfolios and more.
➣ What if I already have Sharesight subscription?
If you already have a Sharesight subscription, we will pick up your bill (up to the value of the Investor Plan). For existing Sharesight subscribers, you are able to link your existing account to your Investor subscription. If you are on the monthly investor plan, the billing will be directed to Morningstar from the following month. If you are on an annual plan, the next annual payment will be paid directly by Morningstar. If you are on a higher priced plan you will be charged the difference between the investor plan cost and your plan.
^The free 4-week trial offer is limited to new clients and cannot be used to extend an existing Investor Membership. One free trial per household. Morningstar is licensed to provide our subscription service to Australian residents only.
