kasina Offers a Strategic Compass

Reported by Ben Geier

There's a new quarterly publication for mutual fund executives, and its going to attempt to give ideas on how to improve product development.

Product Strategy Compass is the new quarterly publication being launched by financial services consultant kasina. The first edition will be launched later this month. Each quarterly edition will feature five articles, the majority of which will be authored by principal and director of research Larry Petrone.

Strategy recommendations will be the focus of the publication, Petrone told MFWire.

"We find that a lot of the product recommendations via research firms tend to me more of a secondary thing to the research they're putting out there," he said. Product Strategy Compass will put the recommendations right at the forefront.

While some of the articles will be about distribution and marketing, the focus will be more on product design, Petrone said.

An annual subscription will cost $25,000.
