Moving from a pay-as-you-go to a funded system

Article Abstract:

The transition of the Belgian Voorzorgskas der Geneesheren/Caisse de prevoyance des Medecins (VKG/CPM) from a pay-as-you-go pension program to a funded system enabled the company to take a more dynamic approach to portfolio management. The VKG/CPM improved its performance following a reform of its portfolio management and a favorable outcome of its professional fund management. The portfolio management was reformed by organizing an asset allocation committee and appointing several specialist managers and a global custodian.

When does fund size affect performance?

Article Abstract:

The size of total assets under management has an impact on the return on investments. In addition to this, a rapid influx of funds can also affect the performance of an investment and compel an investment manager to shift capitalization as well as style. A major consideration of these trends is the impact they will have on the ability of the manager to buy, sell and trade with a different amount of money. Investors should take note of these possibilities when making decisions.
