Has this guy ever read a PPM? 99% of funds can waive or reduce management & performance fees for strategic (read: large) investors. The problem was that during the HF boom it was a "seller's market" and funds could take a hard line on fees. Nowadays, If a large institutional investor plays hard ball on the fee structure there is a good chance the fund will make some concessions.

While the chart is informative, I'd really like to see the data broken out by fund size.

I don't mean to sound disingenuous; I agree with most of your posts, but this one just sounds like you had something to get off your chest. Hard to blame anyone though in this environment.]]> Thu, 29 Jan 2009 00:49:29 -0500
