Morningstar Style Box
 | This article may be too technical for most readers to understand. (February 2021) |
The Morningstar Style Box is a grid of nine squares used to identify the investment style of stocks and mutual funds. Developed by Don Phillips and John Rekenthaler of Morningstar, Inc.,[1] the Style Box was launched in 1992.[2]
The vertical axis of the Style Box represents an investment's size category: small, mid and large.[3] The horizontal axis depicts fund investment style categories such as "value" and "growth," which are common to stocks and funds. The "blend" definition in the central column differs for stocks and funds. “For stocks, the central column of the Style Box will represent the core style (those for which neither value or growth characteristics dominate); for funds, it will represent the blend style (a mixture of growth and value stocks or mostly core stocks).”[4]
