Hartstein's Next Performance Will Be in Los Angeles

Reported by Tommy Fernandez

Cue the triumphant jazzy brass section of the orchestra and closeups of Los Angeles street scenes.

Keith Hartstein is starting his next major performance.

The retired president and chief executive of John Hancock Funds, as well as as one of 2009's most influential people in the fund industry, has joined the Board of Managers of Causeway Capital Management.

A 22-year veteran of the company, Hartstein ran a number of important functions at John Hancock Funds, including retail and institutional distribution, marketing, product development, product management, fund administration, technology, compliance and internal transfer agency.

He stepped away from the position in May and mad plans to head west soon after.

“We are thrilled to have Keith join our board of managers, and look forward to his insights and guidance as we cement our commitment to mutual fund sales,” stated Sarah Ketterer, Causeway’s Chief Executive Officer.

Established in 2001, Los Angeles-based Causeway provides investment management services to corporations, pension plans, public retirement plans, Taft-Hartley pension plans, endowments and foundations, mutual funds, charities, private trusts, wrap fee programs, and other institutions. Causeway is the investment adviser to the Causeway Funds.

“We will take full advantage of Keith’s tremendous industry expertise to enhance the profile and brand awareness of the Causeway funds,” stated Harry Hartford, Causeway’s President.

The Morningstar Analyst Rating is not a credit or risk rating. It is a subjective evaluation performed by the mutual fund analysts of Morningstar, Inc. Morningstar evaluates funds based on five key pillars, which are process, performance, people, parent, and price. Morningstar's analysts use this five pillar evaluation to identify funds they believe are more likely to outperform over the long term on a risk-adjusted basis. Analysts consider quantitative and qualitative factors in their research, and the weighting of each pillar may vary. The Analyst Rating ultimately reflects the analyst's overall assessment and is overseen by Morningstar's Analyst Rating Committee. The approach serves not as a formula but as a framework to ensure consistency across Morningstar's global coverage universe.

The Morningstar Analyst Rating should not be used as the sole basis in evaluating a mutual fund. Morningstar Analyst Ratings are based on Morningstar's current expectations about future events; therefore, in no way does Morningstar represent ratings as a guarantee nor should they be viewed by an investor as such. Morningstar Analyst Ratings involve unknown risks and uncertainties which may cause Morningstar's expectations not to occur or to differ significantly from what we expected.

The Analyst Rating scale ranges from Gold to Negative, with Gold being the highest rating and Negative being the lowest rating. A fund with a "Gold" rating distinguishes itself across the five pillars and has garnered the analysts' highest level of conviction. A fund with a 'Silver' rating has notable advantages across several, but perhaps not all, of the five pillars-strengths that give the analysts a high level of conviction. A "Bronze"-rated fund has advantages that outweigh the disadvantages across the five pillars, with sufficient level of analyst conviction to warrant a positive rating. A fund with a 'Neutral' rating isn't seriously flawed across the five pillars, nor does it distinguish itself very positively. A "Negative" rated fund is flawed in at least one if not more pillars and is considered an inferior offering to its peers. Analyst Ratings are reevaluated at least every 14 months.
