Fund Distribution: An Overview
Before we delve into Acolin’s role, let’s first understand what fund distribution entails. Fund distribution refers to the process of making investment funds accessible to a broad range of investors. This is notably important, as funds are typically not sold, but bought, or if sold then not by the asset manager but rather the wealth manager who works with the investor. Fund distribution, hence, involves a complex network of actors, including fund platforms, wealth managers and distribution partners like banks and brokerages. The core is to provide a seamless experience for investors to access and invest in various funds.
