How deep is the diligence process in ETF/Mutual Fund Investing?
Prospect here asking how time is spent in AM (Mutual Funds / ETFs) rebalancing / monitoring positions as opposed to doing investment diligence / new opportunity analyzation?
I’m Currently on the sell side and want to break into the AM space but I want to understand the investment process much better and what goes on behind the scenes.
I’m hoping it’s as diligent and well thought out as Private Equity investing is but would like some color from people in the industry around the investment thesis / diligence portion and truly how deep Mutual Fund / ETF Managers go.
Would you say that the mega AMs like Blackrock, Fidelity, T Rowe Proce don’t do as much diligence as smaller ETFs managers do like Ark / O’Shares others.. thanks in advance!
mobullity, sorry about the lack of response. Maybe one of these topics will help:

Hope that helps.
It completely depends on the fund strategy, each of the companies you’ve listed likely have a wide variety of diligence processes, depending on the actual fund or strategy. Based on your interest I’d say you want to target high conviction/concentrated funds. The fund I work on for instance is probably 50/50 staying on top of the names we hold vs. researching new names. We tend to hold 30-40 names with an average holding period of 10 years so there’s not a lot of turnover which means we spend a lot of time looking at a company before adding it.
