In addition to monthly distribution of the tabloid-size FTfm supplement, the FT will publish three related special reports to be distributed inside FTfm throughout the year. These reports will take an in-depth look at areas such as asset servicing, hedge funds, derivatives, index investing, liability driven investment, and exchange traded funds. These reports will address the following issues:

• business strategies for asset managers on how to deal with the changing environment;
• portfolio management techniques being employed in pursuit of competitive performance;
• developments in corporate governance and the implications and effects of new regulations;
• alternative assets increasingly being used across the US and Europe;
• new products being developed to meet customer needs, such as longevity bonds, fundamental indices, pooled swaps funds or absolute return vehicles;
• new approaches to investing for liability-driven institutions, such as insurance companies and pension funds; and
• new markets opening up to fund managers in Eastern Europe, Russia, China and India.
