Mutual Fund Selection & Assessment
Background
Increasing competition, globalisation and other changes in the Mutual Funds industry is having some fundamental consequences:
- more funds in each area and more specialist areas
- funds are increasingly assessed against each other
- fund assessments are becoming more complex and discerning
- a move towards Private Bankers offering other selected funds besides their own as an alternative to direct equity and fixed income investment
