| Tiivistelmä: | The characteristics of the risk-adjusted rating (RAR) on which Morningstar bases its star ratings and category ratings are analyzed. The RAR is compared with more traditional mean-variance measures. The RAR measure has characteristics similar to those of an expected utility function based on an underlying bilinear utility function. Strict adherence to maximizing expected utility with such a function could lead to extreme investment strategies. In the study, it is found that Morningstar varies one of the parameters of this function in a manner that frequently produces results similar to the results of using the excess-return Sharpe ratio. The argument is presented that neither Morningstar's measure nor the excess-return Sharpe ratio is an efficient tool for choosing mutual funds within peer groups for a multifund portfolio. |
