Every fund aspires to expand in size, but at what cost? As a fund continues to grow, it inevitably reaches a point of diminishing returns in terms of alpha generation. At which point, its large size may: 1. Limit investment opportunities 2. Reduce agility 3. Often compel managers to 'play it safe' by adhering closely to benchmarks On the contrary, smaller and newer funds adopt a different mentality. Given the undertaking to create a fund from scratch most managers decide to pursue this route out of passion for investing and the desire to express their beliefs freely. The trick is to identify a fund’s sweet spot, which is precisely what we aim to do at Downing Fox. Natalia Krol, Product Manager, discusses why Downing Fox identifies and capitalises on the potential of younger funds: https://lnkd.in/ek2aJjMH #Funds #FundManagement #Investing #AssetManagement

Research suggests semi-liquid funds pay more for secondaries than closed-end funds – but why? According to Tangible’s Nathan Sutton, pricing ultimately boils down to the internal rate of return (IRR) a fund is targeting — and the IRR for an evergreen fund is typically 5-10 percentage points lower than a closed-end fund, leading evergreen managers to bid as much as 5% higher. “They’re not overbidding, they’re bidding in line with their investment target return,” he told Secondaries Investor. “The only thing they are overbidding against is closed-end funds.” Read more: https://lnkd.in/gcntvVdh #secondaries

Check out Richard Jones's latest G10 FX Weekly: MoF Makes Selling USD/JPY Rallies Compelling Summary -USD/JPY briefly printed above 160 on 29 April, a public holiday in Japan, before quickly falling back below 155. -Money market data suggested the Japanese Ministry of Finance (MoF) bought about 5.5tn yen that day. -A second bout of intervention, following the Fed policy update on Wednesday, saw the MoF buy 3.5tn yen, leading USD/JPY to fall from ~157.50 to ~153 within minutes.
