Mating dance of the funds shows no sign of slowing, says chief choreographer

Article Abstract:

State Street Global Advisors owner Nicholas Lopardo claims three main issues are affecting investment management in the late 1990s. The first issue is the globalization of investments and firms. The second issue is the 'instividual' market or the influence of individual investors on investment choice. The third issue is the privatization of pension systems due to an aging population.

Regulations need to be wrapped up for a new investment product

Article Abstract:

Wrap accounts (or wrap fees) are becoming more popular among Australian investors, which raises concerns about the protection provided by current regulations. Some people worry that those promoting wrap products may exploit the customer's trust without taking complete responsibility for liabilities. In wrap accounts, managers have little or no contact with investors.
