One response to “Alignment of interest”

  1. Jet26

    Whilst it maybe easy to point the finger at the “greedy” fund managers, a large part of the reality is that the consultants’ own clients are resistant to adopting more aligned fee structures. Much of this would seem to boil down to the administration difficulties in dealing with anything other than asset based fees as well as a reluctance to pay mangers higher fees when their performance is high.

Price war hitting active fees, too

Fee compression is here to stay. Only the few active managers that have met their benchmarks over the past few years have been immune. But make no mistake, asset owners will be reviewing all strategies for their value and fee models will continue to evolve.
