Springer The Management of Mutual Funds

This book provides insight into the multi-dimensional process of coordinating and supervising mutual funds. This book focuses on the management of mutual funds within financial markets, with an emphasis on how corporate governance and benchmarking influence asset and portfolio management. Chapters explore four important aspects of this process in particular detail: corporate governance, benchmarking, asset management and portfolio management. The author shows that the mutual fund industry provides wider access to payment systems and to a savings safety-net that operates similarly to deposit insurance. Furthermore, he demonstrates that the Indian government’s focus is on establishing the right of every person to have access to affordable basic financial services offered by banks and non-banks.  From the Back Cover This book provides insight into the multi-dimensional process of coordinating and supervising mutual funds.
