Fund Managers are a very important part of the part of the investment landscape. Pension funding systems around the world heavily invest via fund managers, be they internal or externally appointed. Most Australian and Kiwi investors have exposure to a managed fund (also known as a mutual fund) via superannuation and KiwiSaver accounts.
