TAILIEUCHUNG - Investment Company Institute Perspective

SWFs pose a complex challenge for policy makers. On one hand, SWFs are long-term investment vehicles looking beyond quarterly results and therefore serve as stable funding sources during financial turbulence. On the other hand, however, there are operational concerns stemming from government control (., lack of transparency and possible non-commercial investment goals). Without transparency, it is difficult to attain a clear picture of SWF investment activity. A lack of SWF transparency can also obscure governance and risk-management problems within SWFs | INVESTMENT COMPANY INSTITUTE PERSPECTIVE Vol. 9 No. 6 December 2003 Perspective is a series of occasional papers published by the Investment Company Institute the national association of the American investment company industry.

They have different business objectives serve different clienteles have different organizational structures and operations and use different conventions for reporting expenses. Failure to account for differences between mutual funds and pension plans can lead to misinterpretations. For example a recent study by John Freeman and Stewart Brown 2001 concluded incorrectly that mutual funds pay more for portfolio management than public pension plans 5 a result reached by including more than portfolio management expenses in the mutual fund fees that they analyzed. This issue of Perspective examines the organizational structures of mutual funds and pension plans and compares levels and trends in their expenses. The .
