Does your firm experience issues with the organization and timely processing of intermediary invoices?
Do you find there is no effective and efficient process to independently verify a dealer’s calculation to ensure that assets aren’t double-billed? Are there increased demands from Fund Boards and compliance of distribution in guise? Is fee management difficult to ensure rates are tied to the latest agreement on file?
