Just as the FSA is raising doubts about the ability of some advisers to justify multi-manager selection (1), and with the industry in a state of flux, an independent updated guide designed to help financial advisers improve their understanding of multi-manager fund management has just been produced. Called “Blending Talents: A guide to multi-manager investing in the UK”, Defaqto’s latest guide not only contains highly relevant information about the structure, benefits and information on the investment process itself, it also provides a methodology and is crammed with fund statistics to identify likely funds for further investigation.
The guide also comes at a time when the level of fund manager moves in this section of the industry is unprecedented as many fund management companies are positioning, or repositioning themselves in anticipation of further growth in what is becoming the managed solution of choice.
