Description of Asset Management Standards

Asset management standards are crucial for building trust between investors and capital market experts. The issue of corporate governance has been thrown into the spotlight by the disastrous collapse of Enron and the implications for the industry. The proposed standards are relevant for the entire fund industry, regulators, providers of pension plans and portfolio managers. Produced in association with the European Federation of Financial Analysts Societies, this book aims to provide a well-founded basis for development of the content of asset management standards in the UK, the US and the EU. It contains a detailed overview of the current position, outlines planned developments and discusses underlying problems.
