Mutual funds are a key resource for Americans saving for retirement, college, and other long-term goals. With hundreds of fund families and thousands of individual funds crowding the marketplace, competition would hardly seem an issue. Yet funds are failing to compete effectively on price. This is a serious problem for savers, because small price differences can deeply erode investment results over time. This book argues that the problem is not too little regulation, but too much and of the wrong kind. The authors show how current policy leads to de facto rate regulation and propose a new collective investment vehicle.

Creating Value in Financial Services is a compilation of state-of-the-art views of leading academics and practitioners on how financial service firms can succeed in today's competitive environment. The book is based on two conferences held at New York University: the first, `Creating Value in Financial Services', held in March 1997, and the second, `Operations and Productivity in Financial Services', in April 1998. The book is essentially designed to be a compendium of leading edge thinking and practice in the management of financial services firms. There is no book today that has this focus. It contains ideas that can apply to other service industries. Topics addressed are increasingly important worldwide as the financial services industries consolidate and search for innovative new directions and ways to create value in a fiercely competitive environment.
