Pressure builds for clean fees
Article Abstract:
Fees charged by investment managers of UK pension funds are not the most important criteria for client pension funds. Published fees scales have risen, but clients can often negotiate lower fees, and actual fees may have remained stable. The Pensions Investment Forum is due to present a report on charges and is examining hidden fees. These fees can increase the cost of total fees by as much as 100%, and undermine a relationship of trust between investment managers and their clients.

Questions, questions: the new general questionnaire service from CAPS should, in time, put an end to fund managers' complaints about the never-ending stream of consultants' questionnaires
Article Abstract:
CAPS the performance measurement service, is launching a new General Questionnaire Service for Investment Managers. Many fund managers feel that consultants' questionnaires require the same basic information, asked for in slightly different ways, so responses cannot be standardised. The CAPS launch recognises the need for a standardised approach.
