The global landscape of investment opportunities and risks has changed. As a result of the widening gap between investors' expectations and investment managers' ability to meet these expectations, investors have become much more demanding. Investors due diligence of investment managers has become more rigorous, their performance and risk reviews more frequent and their reporting needs to be more stringent and timely.
