Thomson Reuters-Monday Morning Memo: How to be successful at fund distribution
June 11, 2018--When a fund selector or investor searches for a fund to fit the needs of a given portfolio, he or she will analyze a specific fund universe with risk and performance measures to see which funds are suitable.
Immediately after this analysis (in some cases even before) the analyst will investigate the assets under management (AUM) to see if a particular fund is large enough to absorb the planned investment amount. In a number of cases it will turn out that even funds with superior performance are quite small in AUM (i.e., the AUM may be below 50 million euros), which might constrain the investor from making an investment, assuming the fund will not be able to digest the investment. In some cases investors are also tied to guidelines that do not allow them to invest above a given percentage of the AUM of a single fund. This leads fund promoters to a hen-or-egg problem, since in general they would like to manage larger funds. But, large investors might not buy small funds, even when these funds have a superior track record.
