However, in order to be as much transparent shouldnt these liquidity gates be valued at the last available price. For example if a side pocket was initiated on 1.1.2010 with fair price of say $100and the last available value as on 3/3/2010 was $98 and till 6/30/2010 no other value available; shouldnt the side pocket as on 6/30 be valued at the last available price ie $98 instead of $100??Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04624278277078814706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3764912039741974037.post-72072518049477386502010-03-03T12:13:33.630-05:002010-03-03T12:13:33.630-05:00does a side-pocketed investment need to be fair-va...does a side-pocketed investment need to be fair-valued or held at cost it is being placed into it in order not to result in a qualified oppinion?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3764912039741974037.post-26240753536210084512009-11-22T00:10:40.677-05:002009-11-22T00:10:40.677-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3764912039741974037.post-44335579951720927912009-02-19T20:23:00.000-05:002009-02-19T20:23:00.000-05:00Maeson,Not sure there's enough here for a Master's...Maeson,<BR/><BR/>Not sure there's enough here for a Master's dissertation, unless you're approaching this from a psychological perspective - i.e., monitoring the behavior of investors' withdrawal requests pre and post sidepocketing and/or their responsiveness to it. To what extent does the funds' transparency in this matter alleviate vs. accelerate investor concern. You may struggle for data points, though.GPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06092575382467139269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3764912039741974037.post-14942714024712159882009-02-06T06:58:00.000-05:002009-02-06T06:58:00.000-05:00Perhaps replying a bit on the late side, but I am ...Perhaps replying a bit on the late side, but I am intrigued by the use of side pockets in fund management and would like to conduct academic research on this topic for my Masters thesis. Do you have any suggestions on a research topic in relation to side pockets?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
