Report shows how the proactive efforts of investment fund managers to align with those of their investors are arguably the most attractive aspect of their offering.

The most successful fund managers are those that are most in sync with their clients’ demands; the core of this ethos is demonstrated by the increasingly large amount of capital that these fund managers have in their own firm’s success.  Not only principals but other key staff are also expected to have their capital in the fund as a way of demonstrating to their firm and underlying investors that they are committed to the mission.
