Investors can find all the details they require regarding their investments from management reports of investment funds. They provide information on investment goals, costs, holding details and performance, and many other aspects. Detailed reporting is crucial in helping attract potential clients and keeping existing ones.
Many investment managers, trusts and family offices employ different methods to manage and track their assets. Some utilize Excel spreadsheets to keep track of their money, while others rely on dedicated software. It is essential to have the appropriate technology to ensure the right information is available in the appropriate time.
Idealy directors of investment funds should be provided with data and information which will enable them to evaluate the value of the costs and fees of the fund in relation to the selection and management of portfolio securities. The directors who are independent of the fund should be able review documents prepared by experts outside when evaluating service contracts and fees.
To address these broader requirements to meet these requirements, the Commission should consider whether it’s appropriate to include certain fee-related information, expressed in dollar amounts that are included in the statements of accounts for funds. Shareholders can then compare their fees with other funds, and have their own information.
