Is a fund manager allowed to invest in their own fund at IPO with their main port? I'd like to be able to track the fund's performance... Willroast Mar 31, 18:56

ER, I believe he is asking if his personal (i.e. main) port can invest in the fund he's managing. {nm} DTravel Mar 31, 21:06

Yes, that is what I meant. Sorry for the confusion. Willroast Mar 31, 22:37

You are on point ER. In fact, funds can't invest in funds period. {nm} Willroast Mar 31, 22:38

yes, your personal port can buy your fund. {nm} Rocket123 aka PVL Admin Apr 01, 00:17

This. Trades do not affect a fund's price. Only the stocks it owns do. {nm} eyescovered Apr 01, 04:30

This is still an obscure way to manipulate things for your main port though (not that I would ever do it). That's why I asked. SEETVFund Apr 01, 04:57

There is no way to manipulate a funds price... fund owners can invest in all funds thru their personal ports..... RazorHawk Apr 01, 07:12

well they could try and manipulate it by manipulating the stocks that the fund owns. That's a bit much though {nm} Dorfman Apr 01, 08:58

You could do that with any funds' holdings. If someone is willing to cheat on here, there are much better (and faster) ways to do it. {nm} eyescovered Apr 01, 09:38

I have a list. {nm} RazorHawk Apr 01, 09:54

Is it hidden!? Is it safe!? {nm} Gandalf Apr 01, 12:49

Ha! {nm} Dorfman Apr 01, 20:33

It has the list and won't share. We hates it. We needs our precious H$. {nm} Initech Apr 01, 20:40
