Management Practice, Inc. (MPI) has been a consultant and an adviser to mutual fund directors and their counsel since 1970. We provide independent information to help fund directors and trustees carry out their responsibilities.

Originally, MPI's work focused on the contract renewal process, but it has since expanded to include:

• Consultation concerning the dynamics of the board itself.
• Fee negotiation.
• Trustee compensation and benefits.

MPI does not either directly or by implication provide legal advice.

MPI performs annual surveys for the mutual fund industry and independent directors.  Over the past 15 years we have performed a survey of director compensation  as well as a survey regarding mutual fund profitability.  Additionally, this year will be our 4th annual survey of Chief Compliance Officer compensation.  For further information on these surveys, as well as their accompanying questionnaires, please click on the links below.
