Our long-term strategy is to use the new family brands to expand the world of Morningstar and shape how clients see us.

In a house of brands structure, brands are independent and build their own brand equity instead of the master brand or company.

A branded house structure builds up a single brand; every family brand and product strengthens the master brand’s reputation.
