setting the foxes to watch the henhouse
Sorry about the title of this post. Sometimes a piece jumps up that just fits into a cliche so neatly you can’t resist it, and this is one of those. Citywire reports that the UK Platform Group (broadly speaking the fund supermarkets) are putting together a proposal for a unified standard of disclosure for the […]

You sort it out. You. Sort it. Out.
Just a quick post on one of the things from CP10/29 that hasn’t picked up so much coverage in amongst all the hoohah on rebates, admin payments and so on. Later on in the CP, our narrator says “We are proposing new rules to ensure that investors who access authorised funds through intermediate unitholders receive […]

Sorry, Macquarie
Macquarie’s decision this week to close its UK platform could hardly have been timed better, or worse. Previously serene platform hacks were sent into a gibbering caffeine-fuelled overdrive as they tried to cover CP10/29 and this big news from the Australian giant at the same time.
