Helping investors traverse financial markets and build their wealth during the peaks and troughs is Janus Henderson Investors head of Australia Matt Gaden's game plan. He tells Karren Vergara why in this long game of investing, active management wins.
As a researcher our concerns about panels of researchers are how it might affect competition. There are very high barriers to entry now and a panel is another hurdle to jump before being able to compete for research contracts.
Quality of research requirements are necessary and perhaps a review of processes and methodology by an independent body might be more appropriate.
Other ideas such as where Licensees become shareholders of a researcher only whilst they use the research will help to align interests of researchers and advisers.
Agree 100% with this observation. The "Master - Servant" relationship with the Master being whose paying for the service is and has always been wrong. The suggested change would fix this & remove bias plus increase integrity of the system.
