NICSA is very pleased to announce the publication of The Fund Industry: How Your Money is Managed
by Robert Pozen, Chairman Emeritus of MFS, and our President, Theresa Hamacher (Wiley Press, February 2011).
The Fund Industry is the only guide to the fund business -- for those who are new to the industry or for those who’d like to learn more. It examines how mutual funds are structured and discusses the key laws and regulations governing their operations.
As Don Phillips, Managing Director of Morningstar, Inc., says in his Foreword, “There’s no other book that gives readers such a thorough overview of how the fund industry operates, its evolution, its regulation, and what makes it tick.”
The Fund Industry can supplement in-house training programs -- as a portion of the introductory curriculum or as a take-away that gives participants an opportunity to continue to learn about the industry outside the classroom. A companion website provides supplementary training materials. The book also makes a suitable gift for clients.
Orders of 1,000 copies or more can be customized with your company’s logo or tagline on the cover or with a letter from your company at the front. Chapter reprints and electronic versions are also available.
For a limited time only, NICSA members may purchase copies at a discounted price. For more information and to place an order, please see our web page at www.nicsa.org/TheFundIndustry.
