Fees on the firm's open-end and exchange-traded funds are a weakness, contributing negatively to the rating and creating a larger performance hurdle on funds. On average, Investment House charges fees on its funds that are in the most expensive quintile of similarly distributed funds. With the current market environment of fee compression, this is cause for concern, as investors may flock over time to alternate asset managers to get a better deal. A detractor from the firm's rating is its lower-than-average portfolio management retention over the past five years, as elevated turnover bears watching. Looking at the firm's risk-adjusted performance, its fund lineup compares similarly to competitors. Across its open-end and exchange-traded funds, the firm's average five-year Morningstar Rating is 3.0 stars.
