Investment Fund Management Reports

The quality of the investment reports on fund management can play an important aspect in attracting and retention of clients. Investors expect to have access to clear overviews of the investment goals of their portfolio as well as the risk level and costs along with the performance metrics and details of holdings.

Investors will also want detailed details on the dollar value of fees attributable to their account. This information is usually found in the semi-annual or annual shareholder report, depending on the business. For mutual funds, this may include a breakdown of the total amount of fees paid by each individual shareholder and a description of how the fees were allotted to the performance of the portfolio.

However, presenting this information as part of the overall performance report may be a challenge for a lot of businesses. In the end, most investors hold their funds in an omnibus account with broker-dealers. To offer personalized fee data, a broker-dealer will need to establish interfaces with the owners of these accounts to calculate and distribute the information to each individual shareholder.
