Who's got the POWER?

It’s often said that western Manitobans are like the Rodney Dangerfields of this province — no matter how hard we try, we get no respect.

As we’re often overlooked when other media offer a Top-20 or Top-30 most-powerful listing, I decided to cobble together a ranking of my own to focus on Brandon and area. This is the fifth edition.

The criteria I used were that they have to be residents of Westman and be more powerful than simply prominent. So what is power? For this exercise, it’s the ability to influence the direction of the community.

A truly powerful person can be both respected and feared, admired and loathed. But he or she can get the job done. They’re the ones whose phone calls are returned.

Leadership in the Fund Industry — The Harvard Law School Forum ...

What is the critical factor for success in the U.S. mutual fund industry? Is it top-ranked investment performance, innovative products, or pervasive distribution?

We believe that the most successful managers over the next decade will be organizations with two characteristics: dedication primarily to asset management and control by investment professionals. Our view is based on research for the book The Fund Industry: How Your Money Is Managed (Pozen and Hamacher 2011).

Dedicated asset managers—firms deriving a majority of their revenues from investment management—dominate the industry, as shown in Table 1 . The table ranks U.S. fund families by assets under management in 1990, 2000, and 2010 and shows dedicated asset managers in boldface. At the end of 2010, 8 of the top 10 firms were dedicated to investment management, as were 14 of the top 25 firms. Dedicated firms have held this dominant position for the past 20 years; in 1990, 13 of the top 25 firms were dedicated to asset management, only 1 fewer than in 2010....
