U.S. Global Investors Parent Rating

Below Average
Morningstar Manager Research

U.S. Global Investors has a ways to go to become an industry-standard steward, resulting in a Below Average Parent Pillar rating.

The firm has a poor risk-adjusted performance record. Across all open-end and exchange-traded funds, the firm’s average 10-year Morningstar Rating is 2.2 stars. U.S. Global Investors fails to showcase longevity across its product shelf, as evidenced by its 10-year risk-adjusted success ratio. Over this time period, only 17% of its roster has been able to both survive and beat its respective category median on a risk-adjusted basis. A low success ratio indicates poor performance and raises questions about a firm’s discipline around investment strategy and product development. The firm charges fees on its open-end and exchange-traded funds that are on par with category peers. On average, fees on its funds are within the middle quintile, giving it neither an advantage nor disadvantage compared with the competition.
