Managing Collective Investment Funds This textbook is for those who wish to understand the regulation, investment management, administration and marketing of the collective investment funds - also known as mutual funds, unit trusts or investment trust companies - and the management of a business which operates such funds. The authors wrote the book as a result of providing training and advice to regulators and market practitioners worldwide - particularly in emerging markets - and finding that there was no generic international guide to understanding the investment fund business and its regulation and operation. The textbook is the basis for the training course delivered by the authors in the United Kingdom and around the world.
