Fund managers may get benched
Article Abstract:
Asian fund managers will find their performances increasingly under scrutiny as usage of benchmarks becomes more popular. Benchmarks allow for objective assessments and comparisons become easier to make. Investors can use index tracking funds to be assured of meeting benchmark targets. Benchmarks can help Asian markets attract more investment, especially from long-term institutional investors like pension funds. This should bring major benefits for all parties.
