Morningstar Rising Talent Award, 2021. Morningstar presents the Rising Talent Award to an up-and-coming manager in Morningstar's coverage universe. The manager must have less than seven years' tenure managing portfolios and yet has delivered exceptional results to investors over that span of time. Morningstar's manager research analysts conduct in-depth qualitative analyses in order to select nominees and, subsequently, vote to determine the award winner. To qualify for the award, the manager's strategy must earn a Morningstar Analyst Rating of Gold, Silver or Bronze, for at least one vehicle and/or share class, or be featured in Morningstar Prospects, a publication highlighting investments that Morningstar analysts are following closely but have not yet received full coverage.
