Rising stars: pension funds offer emerging money managers a chance to show their stuff
Article Abstract:
Investment managers who leave large corporate fund managers to put up their own practice may have difficulty attracting large investments. This is because institutional investors such as pension funds usually rely on track record and a high level of assets under management for selecting money managers, both of which new managers do not have. However, pension funds have used several approaches in trying out new and potentially high-performing managers. These include outsourcing, in-house money management teams and changing the mix of their manager selection criteria.
