LONDON: The expertise required to run a truly alternative strategy could warrant higher fees than a long-only equivalent, but investors want to pay for performance rather than an information edge.
Competition has forced funds to become more competitive on fees, fund buyers have said, but there has also been a herding effect around the top performers, which means many of the best alternative ideas are closed to new investors.
So, what can investors do? In this video, our three-strong panel outlines when it makes sense to pay a premium for an alternative strategy and when investors should challenge the costs.
The panel was chaired by Citywire’s Angus Foote and featured:
- Khaled Boudokhane, head of long-only external multi-management, Candriam;
- Natalino Barbosa, senior fund analyst, Candriam;
- Peter Reis, head of fund research, ifsam
