Expertise
Inside Fitz Partners’ expertise
Regulation demands precision. Boards demand evidence. Investors demand trust.
Fitz Partners has established itself as the European and UK authority on fund fees and expenses. Their independence and precision make them a trusted partner for asset managers, boards and industry stakeholders looking to understand fund fees better and perform meaningful comparisons.
Their methodology goes beyond headline cost ratios to show a full breakdown of expenses, such as management, custody, administration, audit and distribution. This gives clients the complete picture. With this framework, funds can be compared fairly, helping managers and boards understand costs and explain them with confidence.
How riskconcile & fitz partners strengthen each other
Cost Benchmarking insights for smarter decisions
Decisions based on high quality data and meaningful insights
- Independent fee benchmarking and fee reviews allows boards to comply with the UK's Assessment of Value and Consumer Duty, responses to the ESMA Supervisory Briefing on the supervision of costs in UCITs and AIFs, subsequent NCA requests, and the Value for Money framework.
- Get a clear view of your costs and perform meaningful peer comparisons. Provide directors, fee committees and fund managers concise and reliable evidence to fulfil their governance responsibilities and steer their business.
- Detailed fee databases give product, fee and finance teams the hard data they need to review pricing, challenge assumptions and negotiate more effectively with service providers.
- Annual benchmarking studies track how fees evolve across Europe, giving managers insight into trends in advisory, management company, directors’ and performance fees that inform long-term strategy.
Solutions built around the product
- Both companies built solutions with the product (fund) at the center. Fitz Partners brings deep fee and expense data, while RiskConcile adds risk and regulatory reporting. Together, we offer a complete fund-focused toolkit for our clients.
- Since founding, both firms have been driven by accuracy, quality, and client trust. This shared culture ensures strong alignment and consistent value for fund managers and fund management companies.
- Fitz Partners’ deep fund fee and expense data naturally complements RiskConcile’s strengths in areas such as PRIIPs delivery, transaction cost calculations, and liquidity stress testing. Together, we offer clients broader, integrated solutions.
