Fund managers are attracted to Europe’s potential for offering access to more institutional investors, but they must employ due diligence in selecting the right strategy when making the move. There are three models fund managers can consider when setting out to offer their funds to the European market:

  • Establish your own management company
  • Partner with a third-party management company
  • Host your strategy on a managed platform

Fund distribution experts Lisa Shea and Sascha Calisan compare the three models that U.S. asset managers can consider when looking to enter Europe. Watch the video to learn more.
