THE TOPIC for our next issue is: “Conflicts of interest – their impact on our investment world.” We want to examine what constitutes a conflict of interest in the investment world, what the implications are for investors and what can be done about them. Potential angles authors could address include:
* The agent/principal conflicts in advisory services: how do you ensure alignment of interests?
* Is asset management a business or a profession? How do you know your interests are being served?
* What compensation scheme really does align the interests of asset managers to their clients?
* How asymmetrical is the distribution of market information?
* Client churn: what creates it and what can be done to stop it?
* Commissions versus fee-based payments to intermediaries: understanding the implications.
