The second annual online report where pension sponsors and their scheme representatives analyse the issues faced in utilising diversified growth and multi-asset funds, including the challenges of transparency, benchmarking and identifying a fund manager’s skill base, experience and resources.
The Diversified Growth Funds (DGF’s) industry has taken an almost vertical climb in popularity in just the first few years of their mass market existence, due to their limited risk profile and access to all market environments. The fact that they provide a wide mixture of assets through one fund managers has however worked against them with several schemes expressing concern about how one fund manager can truly perform across a number of asset and strategy areas. Questions have also arisen around the issue of fees and whether they can be justified based on the added value DGF’s are offering over competing funds.
The 2011 edition of Investing in Diversified Growth & Multi-Asset Funds will look at the challenges through the eyes of the end users and will assess how the DGF industry is evolving as well as the issues and opportunities driving it forward.

- Benchmarking and measuring Diversified Growth Fund’s performance

- The issue of fees and management charges
