Aside from the overall view, portfolio managers at Miller Value have made a notable effort to align their interests with shareholders' by taking a personal stake and investing alongside them. Nearly 33% of the firm’s assets are represented by a manager who invests in their respective product. Open-end and exchange-traded fund fees are a weakness at the firm, contributing negatively to the rating. On average, the firm charges fees on its funds that are in the most expensive quintile of category peers. With the current market environment of fee compression, this is cause for concern, as investors may flock to alternate asset managers over time to get a better deal. Miller Value has exhibited a reliable and stable portfolio management culture over the past five years, as evidenced by lower-than-average turnover, strengthening the assessment of the firm's stewardship.
