The Asset Management Industry: Structure and Evolution
• Two Organization Forms– Contract directly with a management and advisory
firm– Commingling of investment capital of several clients
in an investment company• Differences between These Two Forms
– Private management and advisory firms develop a personal relationship with clients
– A Investment company offers a general solution
![Page 8: Chapter 24](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815e0d550346895dcc69bd/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The Asset Management Industry: Structure and Evolution

– issue new shares representing the proportional ownership of the fund.

Closed-End Versus Open-End Investment Companies
• Differ in the way each operates after the initial public offering• Closed-end investment company
– Stock trades on secondary market– Net asset value (NAV) is computed twice daily, but market price
determined by supply and demand– Many Funds sell at discounts to NAV
• Open-end investment companies– Mutual funds– Sell and redeem shares at NAV
![Page 14: Chapter 24](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815e0d550346895dcc69bd/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Load versus No-Load Open-End Fund
• The offering price for a share of a load fund equals the NAV of the share plus a sale charge.
• A no-load fund imposes no initial sales charge so it sells shares at the NAV.
• Several variations exist between the full-load fund and the pure no-load fund– Low-load fund– 12b-1 plan– Funds have contingent, deferred sales loads

Fund Management Fees• Charge annual management fees to compensate
professional managers of the fund• Management fees are a major factor driving the
creation of new funds.

Risk Arbitrage Investing• Take equity positions in companies that are the target of
a merger or takeover attempt• Require managers to compare their own subjective
judgment about the success of the proposed takeover with the success probability implied by the market price of the target firm’s stock following the announcement of the prospective deal
• If the manager thinks the takeover is more likely to occur than the market does, he or she will buy target firm shares.
• The manager might short sell the target firm shares if he or she thinks the proposed deal is less likely to be completed
