Operational and Regulatory Issues and Their Importance When Evaluating and Selecting a Manager

Chicago counsel Nicholas Wendland spoke at CTA Expo / Emerging Manager Forum in Chicago on September 12, 2019, about “Operational and Regulatory Issues and Their Importance When Evaluating and Selecting a Manager.”

Research shows that investment managers’ track records account for only about 18 to 20 percent of investors’ decisions to choose a manager. Other factors include due diligence, compliance, business plans and marketing; and many of these services are provided by third-parties. Nicholas discussed what managers and investors should consider when setting up their companies and what factors an investor should look at when reviewing a manager’s infrastructure.
