Academics accuse Morningstar of misclassifying bond funds
A group of academic researchers has taken aim at Morningstar, the financial services giant, arguing the company is luring investors into unsuitable products by understating the riskiness of many of the funds it rates. In a recent paper professors Huaizhi Chen, Umit Gurun and Lauren Cohen noted that Morningstar relies on self-reported summaries from US fixed income funds to come up with its scores. By their estimate, about 30 per cent of high- and medium-credit quality funds were given a less risky profile in recent years than they should have received.

The Payoffs and Penalties of Investing in U.S. Active Funds
Specifically, we've sought to estimate the potential payoff and penalty associated with active investing across various investment styles before fees. To estimate that payoff and penalty, we compiled the rolling 36-month, pre-fee capital asset pricing model alphas of all U.S. active funds in our database for the period January 2000 through Dec. 31, 2018. From there, we sorted each Morningstar Category's pre-fee alphas from smallest to largest to form a distribution, and then calculated the 25th and 75th percentile alphas.

The Best Predictor of Stock-Fund Performance
In 2005, three academics published a remarkable paper. "Judging Fund Managers by the Company They Keep", by Randolph Cohen, Joshua Coval, and Lubos Pastor, debuted a powerful method of forecasting the future performance of U.S. equity funds. When the authors sorted funds by the paper's new measure, the bucket that contained the lowest-decile funds recorded the single lowest average future alpha, the bucket with the second-lowest decile posted the second-lowest alpha, and so forth.
