    Excerpt

    Hi all 👋,In 2012, I was working on a project to identify the share classes of the UCITS funds we subscribed to for our clients (some of my readers may remember this). The objective was simple: to select the right share class more efficiently and subscribe to the best one. That was when I realised, with some surprise, that a single fund could have a multitude of share classes, with fees ranging from one to three times as much, sometimes even more, depending on the size of the subscription.It only

    When agents start talking to each other, who’s in charge? (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

More specifically, about how responsibility and governance will need to adapt to the increasingly autonomous activity of a growing number of systems and about the tools Boards have at their disposal to oversee all of this.It is a vast and complex topic.
