Dated and permanent — an edition is never rewritten after publication; corrections land in its changelog.
The week's fund-industry signal, curated: fund launches and closes, manager and
servicer moves, and figures from our own registers. Every trade-press item links its
source and ends with why it matters to someone who runs or services funds. Trade-press
items are published only after every cited source was machine-verified; register
figures are computed from the published data files. This is a dated, permanent
edition — it is not updated after publication; corrections land in the changelog.
