“The month of November makes me feel that life is passing more quickly. In an effort to slow it down, I try to fill the hours more meaningfully.” (Henry Rollins)

Regardless of what happens to Dodd-Frank, Schulte addresses some LP/GP agreement issues. And, Grant Thornton offers its 30,000 foot view on the state of the asset management industry.
