Morningstar's evaluation of this security's process aims to determine the likelihood that it will outperform its Morningstar Category index on a risk-adjusted basis over the long term. Texas Capital Texas Sm Cp Eq Idx ETF earns an Above Average Process Pillar rating. The most meaningful contributor to the rating is that this fund tracks an index. Historical data, such as Morningstar's Active/Passive Barometer, finds that passively managed funds have generally outperformed their active counterparts, especially over longer time horizons. The firm's five-year retention rate of 100% also strengthens the process. Lastly, the process is limited by the number of months that the management team has been running this vehicle together.

Above Average

Process

Texas Capital’s team receives An Average People Pillar rating. The leading driver of the rating is the firm's five-year retention rate of 100%. A low cost, with fees that rank in its category's least costly quintile, also bolsters the rating. A higher expense ratio reduces net returns, so low costs give this team an advantage. Lastly, the rating is limited by the number of months that the management team has been running this vehicle together. Since this is a newly incepted product, more time is needed to monitor the team's capability at executing the strategy.

People

Even though Texas Capital's limited history of eight months as a firm is working against its rating, they've proven to be an industry-standard steward, warranting an Average Parent Pillar rating. The firm currently manages three vehicles, with a total of $48.3 million under management across a bench of two strategy managers. Despite its short history as a firm, its portfolio managers have built significant experience elsewhere, with an average of over 14 years in the industry. The firm's earliest portfolio manager hire, J. Steven Orr, has more than 20 years of industry experience. 
 
 The below-average fees of Texas Capital's open-end and exchange-traded funds display a commitment to maximizing investor returns. The average net expense ratio for its funds ranks within the cheapest quintile of peer asset managers.  

 As Texas Capital builds and continues to develop a track record, its rating will be adjusted accordingly.
