Morningstar, Inc.
Morningstar, Inc. is a Public Limited Company registered in United States, and its current status with Illinois Secretary of State is active.

Those 28 subsidiaries span United States, Cayman Islands, Netherlands, Canada, South Africa, South Korea, and 3 more jurisdictions, though this list should not be read as complete — subsidiaries only become visible here where shareholder data has actually been filed with a register, so holdings in jurisdictions without that filing simply won't appear. Six of the 28 go a level deeper still, with their own further subsidiaries recorded beneath them — additional ownership layers this view doesn't expand.
