The firm has had encouraging initial results among its product shelf. Its three-year risk-adjusted success ratio is 100%, meaning that 100% of the products have both survived and beaten their respective category median on a risk-adjusted basis. A high success ratio indicates good performance and provides insight into a firm’s discipline around investment strategy and product development. Sound Income Strategies's risk-adjusted performance compares similarly to competitors. Across its open-end and exchange-traded funds, the firm’s average overall Morningstar Rating is 3.5 stars, which is about standard. A notable weakness of Sound Income Strategies is the inexperience of its longest-tenured managers compared with other asset managers. Managing capital through a full market cycle is a challenging prospect for seasoned managers, but with only three years of average tenure across their management team, there is cause for concern.
Sound Income Strategies has some investor-friendly attributes, but other attributes warrant caution, leading to an Average Parent Pillar rating.
