Abstract
Performance measurement is now increasingly in vogue in the investment industry, not least in the area of fund management. There are techniques, special to the industry, for comparing performance against competitors and against a market or index. Equally, the more widely used methods of testing corporate efficiency and effectiveness (costs as a proportion of turnover, return on assets employed, increase in market share etc.) are applicable to the financial field as elsewhere. Compared to these, the measurement of the quality of regulation itself is at a much more elemental state.
This chapter represents the personal views of Mr Blair and should not be taken as the views of the Securities and Investments Board.
