MOAT: Morningstar's Wide Moat ETF Takes Investors On A Bumpy Ride
MOAT tracks a basket of 40-50 wide moat stocks based on Morningstar analysts' opinions on their fair values. It's a hugely popular fund with $15.67 billion in assets under management. Annual portfolio turnover rates are approximately 50%, as MOAT's two equal-weight sub-portfolios rebalance on alternating quarterly schedules. As a result, the fund's composition can change drastically each year. MOAT's performance relative to its category peers is also bumpy year-to-year. Since 2014, it's delivered bottom-quartile returns four times and top-quartile returns six times.
