ABOUT FUND SELECTOR ASIA FSA aims to support the investment process by going beyond standard news reporting to provide data, analysis and context – the crucial “so what” and “why” not just the “what.” FSA reports on a wide range of issues related to fund selection and portfolio construction including fund comparisons, strategy launches, distribution trends, regulatory changes and economic issues. Our goal is to serve the needs of financial professionals who are ultimately involved in building portfolios for investors. Any Asia-related investment story is on our radar, even if it originates outside the region. FSA has the advantage of drawing on the editorial resources of Last Word’s UK-based publications Portfolio Adviser, International Adviser and Expert Investor, to provide a global context for regional stories. The timing has never been better. Competition between fund managers and wealth advisers in Asia is intensifying. With a much wider range of strategies available now than ever before, there is a need for more discerning investment information. The increasing number of Asia-registered funds, the continuing integration of financial systems in Hong Kong and China, and the shift toward discretionary mandates are among the trends driving demand for quality information. We hope that Fund Selector Asia will become the go-to source for industry news, assisting with advisory work and helping fund selectors make better informed fund-buying decisions. www.fundselectorasia.com ABOUT FINANCIAL EXPRESS FE is a global leader in mutual fund data and analytical solutions for banks, investment managers and advisory firms.
