• What exactly is the Cost Transparency Initiative, and will it actually deliver on its goals?
• Can you actually get the data needed from your managers to assess value for members effectively?
• What does good value for members look like?
• Do pension funds focus too much on explicit costs such as disclosed/declared asset management fees and not enough on the ‘hidden cost’ of investing?
