  • 103 soft dollaring

    See:
    Another reason managers are interested in controlling client commissions deserves special attention. "Soft dollaring" has got to be one of the most misunderstood and controversial practices in the money management business. The very term "soft dollars" suggests something shady and conjures up images of money exchanging hands in dark alleyways. Among laymen, soft dollars may be confused with "soft money" political contributions. There is a thin connection between "soft dollars" and "soft money." Since brokerage firms are not subject to the same rules pertaining to political contributions as municipal underwriting firms, large "soft money" contributions from owners of brokerage firms do find their way into politicians' coffers more easily than contributions from underwriters. However, it is important to not confuse the two terms.
    So what is "soft dollaring?" Soft dollaring is the practice whereby money managers use client brokerage commissions to purchase investment research. When a manager pays for products or services with his own money, directly from the research provider, this is referred to as "hard dollars." Payment with client commissions, financed through a brokerage firm, is referred to as "soft dollars." Through soft dollar arrangements money managers are permitted to shift an expense related to the management of assets they would otherwise have to bear, onto their clients. The amount of this research expense the money management industry transfers onto its clients is in the billions annually. As a result, any analysis of the economics of the money management industry should include the effects of soft dollaring; however, we are unaware of any that has. In the institutional marketplace, strange as it may seem, it is possible for a money manager to profit more from soft dollars than from the negotiated asset management fee he receives.
    The general rule under the federal and state securities laws is that a fiduciary, the money manager, cannot use client assets for his own benefit or the benefit of other clients. To simplify matters greatly, soft dollaring is a legally prescribed exception to this rule. Congress, the SEC and other regulators have agreed that as long as the research purchased assists the manager in making investment decisions, the clients benefit and its legally acceptable. A tremendous amount of strained analysis has gone into the precise policies and procedures that managers must follow in purchasing research with client commission dollars. Over the years a distinction has been made between "proprietary" research or in-house research distributed to brokerage customers without a price tag attached and "independent third-party" research or research written by a third party and sold to managers at a stated price. Third party research has been most frequently criticized because its cost is separately stated and the benefit to managers most obvious. In this latter case, a breach of fiduciary duty seems most glaring. However, it is well known that proprietary research, offered for "free, " is produced to stimulate sales of dealer inventory. So presumably this research lacks credibility and is less beneficial to clients. There have been distinctions drawn between products and services, such as computers, which are "mixed-use, " i.e., which may serve dual purposes, providing both research and administrative uses. An adviser must make a reasonable allocation of the cost of the product according to its uses, the SEC has said. Some portion must be paid for with "hard" dollars and the other with "soft." There are several articles in our Library of Articles that describe soft dollar practices, rule changes and our proposal to Chairman Levitt to reform the soft dollar business.
    The issue that soft dollaring raises is: when is it acceptable for a manager to benefit from his client's commissions? For purposes of this article we would like to introduce a new and more useful perspective for pensions in their analysis of soft dollars or any other brokerage issue. That is, all brokerage commissions controlled by managers, benefit managers in some way. Brokerage decision-making by managers rarely, if ever, is simply based upon what firm can execute the trade at the best price. Brokerage is a commodity. Almost all brokerage firms offer reasonably competent, "best execution" services. If they didn't, they'd get sued and soon be out of business. Most savvy brokerage marketers don't even try to differentiate their firms with long-winded explanations about best-execution capabilities. Best execution is a given and impossible to prove. If you want to understand how your money manager allocates brokerage, study his business as a whole, including his marketing and affiliates-not just the investment process.

  • 106 Thinking

       But what then am I? A thing which thinks. What is a thing which thinks? It is a thing which doubts, understands, [conceives], affirms, denies, wills, refuses, which also imagines and feels. (Descartes, 1951, p. 153)
       I have been trying in all this to remove the temptation to think that there "must be" a mental process of thinking, hoping, wishing, believing, etc., independent of the process of expressing a thought, a hope, a wish, etc.... If we scrutinize the usages which we make of "thinking," "meaning," "wishing," etc., going through this process rids us of the temptation to look for a peculiar act of thinking, independent of the act of expressing our thoughts, and stowed away in some particular medium. (Wittgenstein, 1958, pp. 41-43)
       Analyse the proofs employed by the subject. If they do not go beyond observation of empirical correspondences, they can be fully explained in terms of concrete operations, and nothing would warrant our assuming that more complex thought mechanisms are operating. If, on the other hand, the subject interprets a given correspondence as the result of any one of several possible combinations, and this leads him to verify his hypotheses by observing their consequences, we know that propositional operations are involved. (Inhelder & Piaget, 1958, p. 279)
       In every age, philosophical thinking exploits some dominant concepts and makes its greatest headway in solving problems conceived in terms of them. The seventeenth- and eighteenth-century philosophers construed knowledge, knower, and known in terms of sense data and their association. Descartes' self-examination gave classical psychology the mind and its contents as a starting point. Locke set up sensory immediacy as the new criterion of the real... Hobbes provided the genetic method of building up complex ideas from simple ones... and, in another quarter, still true to the Hobbesian method, Pavlov built intellect out of conditioned reflexes and Loeb built life out of tropisms. (S. Langer, 1962, p. 54)
       Experiments on deductive reasoning show that subjects are influenced sufficiently by their experience for their reasoning to differ from that described by a purely deductive system, whilst experiments on inductive reasoning lead to the view that an understanding of the strategies used by adult subjects in attaining concepts involves reference to higher-order concepts of a logical and deductive nature. (Bolton, 1972, p. 154)
       There are now machines in the world that think, that learn and create. Moreover, their ability to do these things is going to increase rapidly until-in the visible future-the range of problems they can handle will be coextensive with the range to which the human mind has been applied. (Newell & Simon, quoted in Weizenbaum, 1976, p. 138)
       But how does it happen that thinking is sometimes accompanied by action and sometimes not, sometimes by motion, and sometimes not? It looks as if almost the same thing happens as in the case of reasoning and making inferences about unchanging objects. But in that case the end is a speculative proposition... whereas here the conclusion which results from the two premises is an action.... I need covering; a cloak is a covering. I need a cloak. What I need, I have to make; I need a cloak. I have to make a cloak. And the conclusion, the "I have to make a cloak," is an action. (Nussbaum, 1978, p. 40)
       It is well to remember that when philosophy emerged in Greece in the sixth century, B.C., it did not burst suddenly out of the Mediterranean blue. The development of societies of reasoning creatures-what we call civilization-had been a process to be measured not in thousands but in millions of years. Human beings became civilized as they became reasonable, and for an animal to begin to reason and to learn how to improve its reasoning is a long, slow process. So thinking had been going on for ages before Greece-slowly improving itself, uncovering the pitfalls to be avoided by forethought, endeavoring to weigh alternative sets of consequences intellectually. What happened in the sixth century, B.C., is that thinking turned round on itself; people began to think about thinking, and the momentous event, the culmination of the long process to that point, was in fact the birth of philosophy. (Lipman, Sharp & Oscanyan, 1980, p. xi)
       The way to look at thought is not to assume that there is a parallel thread of correlated affects or internal experiences that go with it in some regular way. It's not of course that people don't have internal experiences, of course they do; but that when you ask what is the state of mind of someone, say while he or she is performing a ritual, it's hard to believe that such experiences are the same for all people involved.... The thinking, and indeed the feeling in an odd sort of way, is really going on in public. They are really saying what they're saying, doing what they're doing, meaning what they're meaning. Thought is, in great part anyway, a public activity. (Geertz, quoted in J. Miller, 1983, pp. 202-203)
       Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler. (Einstein, quoted in Minsky, 1986, p. 17)
       What, in effect, are the conditions for the construction of formal thought? The child must not only apply operations to objects-in other words, mentally execute possible actions on them-he must also "reflect" those operations in the absence of the objects which are replaced by pure propositions. Thus, "reflection" is thought raised to the second power. Concrete thinking is the representation of a possible action, and formal thinking is the representation of a representation of possible action.... It is not surprising, therefore, that the system of concrete operations must be completed during the last years of childhood before it can be "reflected" by formal operations. In terms of their function, formal operations do not differ from concrete operations except that they are applied to hypotheses or propositions [whose logic is] an abstract translation of the system of "inference" that governs concrete operations. (Piaget, quoted in Minsky, 1986, p. 237)
       [E]ven a human being today (hence, a fortiori, a remote ancestor of contemporary human beings) cannot easily or ordinarily maintain uninterrupted attention on a single problem for more than a few tens of seconds. Yet we work on problems that require vastly more time. The way we do that (as we can observe by watching ourselves) requires periods of mulling to be followed by periods of recapitulation, describing to ourselves what seems to have gone on during the mulling, leading to whatever intermediate results we have reached. This has an obvious function: namely, by rehearsing these interim results... we commit them to memory, for the immediate contents of the stream of consciousness are very quickly lost unless rehearsed.... Given language, we can describe to ourselves what seemed to occur during the mulling that led to a judgment, produce a rehearsable version of the reaching-a-judgment process, and commit that to long-term memory by in fact rehearsing it. (Margolis, 1987, p. 60)

    Некоторые довольно интеллигентные люди, замечая отдельные недостатки, которые всё ещё имеют место в нашей стране, думают: а что, если слегка потеснить большевиков, чтобы в дальнейшем, устранив эти недостатки, перестать их теснить? (Искандер 4). There are certain rather well-informed people who notice the isolated shortcomings that still exist in our country and think: What if we crowd the Bolsheviks a little, with the idea that we'll stop crowding them in the future, when we've eliminated these deficiencies? (4a).

    К счастию, все эти промахи имели место в самый разгар Феденькина либерализма и потому сошли Анне Григорьевне с рук довольно легко (Салтыков-Щедрин 2). Fortunately, all those blunders were made at the height of Fedenka's liberal phase and had for this reason no serious consequences for her (Anna Gri-goryevna) (2a).

    Тут же кстати он (градоначальник) доведался, что глуповцы, по упущению, совсем отстали от употребления горчицы, а потому на первый раз ограничился тем, что объявил это употребление обязательным в наказание же за ослушание прибавил ещё прованское масло... Но глуповцы тоже были себе на уме. Энергии действия они с большою находчивостью противопоставили энергию бездействия. «Что хошь ( ungrammat = хочешь) с нами делай! - говорили одни, — хошь — на куски режь хошь — с кашей ешь, а мы не согласны!» (Салтыков-Щедрин 1). At this point he (the governor) received the timely information that the Foolovites, out of negligence, had completely given up the use of mustard, and for that reason he confined himself at first to declaring its use obligatory, as punishment for disobedience he added olive oil besides....But the Foolovites, too, could play a deep game. To the energy of action they very resourcefully opposed the energy of inaction. "Do with us what you will!" said some "Cut us into pieces, eat us with kasha, but we're not agreed!" (1a).

    - at <in> all events;
    - whatever the case.
         ♦ От Коровьева и Бегемота несло гарью, рожа Бегемота была в саже, а кепка наполовину обгорела. "Салют, мессир", - прокричала неугомонная парочка... "Очень хороши", - сказал Воланд... "Во всяком случае, мы явились, мессир, - докладывал Коровьев, - и ждём ваших распоряжений" (Булгаков 9). Koroviev and Behemoth reeked of smoke, Behemoth's face was sooty, and his cap badly singed "Salute, Messire!" cried the irrepressible pair...."A fine pair," said Woland. "In any case, we've come, Messire," reported Koroviev, "and we are waiting for your orders" (9a).
         ♦ "Значит, он миллионер?" - "Во всяком случае, за расходами не стоит" (Войнович 3). "Then he's a millionaire?" "At any rate, he doesn't spare expense" (3a).
         ♦ Возможно, он [архитектор III.] сам спровоцировал запрет барельефа. Возможно, сразу согласился. Возможно, не очень энергично отстаивал. Во всяком случае, теперь сотрудничество с тобой повредило бы его положению и карьере (Зиновьев 1). "Probably he [the architect S.] provoked the banning of the bas-relief himself. Probably he was the first to agree to it. Probably he defended it without any great conviction. At all events, working with you would have damaged his professional position" (1a).
         ♦ Знал ли он [Маяковский] о моём восторженном отношении к нему? Во всяком случае, между нами порой среди той или иной собравшейся группы литераторов устанавливался бессловесный контакт... (Олеша 3). Was he [Mayakovsky] aware of my rapturous regard for him? Whatever the case, from time to time, at one gathering of literary people or another, a tacit understanding was established between us... (3a).

  • 117 себе на уме

    [Invar; usu. subj-compl with быть (subj: human), pres or past; fixed WO]
    =====
    ⇒ one is guarded, tight-lipped (with regard to his plans, intentions etc), guileful, protective of his own interests etc (the focus may be on any combination of the above elements; may imply that one's plans etc are not aboveboard):
    - X себе на уме≈ X is secretive <dose-mouthed, sly etc>;
    - X is secretive and wily <sly, mindful of his own interests etc>;
    - X plays a deep game.
         ♦...Свидригайлов вдруг опять рассмеялся. Раскольникову явно было, что это на что-то твёрдо решившийся человек и себе на уме (Достоевский 3)....Svidrigailov suddenly laughed again. It was obvious to Raskolnikov that this was a man with his mind firmly set on something and one who was also secretive (3a).
         ♦ Вообще Куник Глебову не нравился. Он был какой-то очень молчаливый, неприветливый... и себе на уме (Трифонов 2). Glebov disliked Kunik. He was so very taciturn, unfriendly, secretive and wily (2a).
         ♦ Тут же кстати он [градоначальник] доведался, что глуповцы, по упущению, совсем отстали от употребления горчицы, а потому на первый раз ограничился тем, что объявил это употребление обязательным; в наказание же за ослушание прибавил ещё прованское масло... Но глуповцы тоже были себе на уме. Энергии действия они с большою находчивостью противопоставили энергию бездействия. "Что хошь [ungrammat = хочешь] с нами делай! - говорили одни, - хошь - на куски режь; хошь - с кашей ешь, а мы не согласны!" (Салтыков-Щедрин 1). At this point he [the governor] received the timely information that the Foolovites, out of negligence, had completely given up the use of mustard, and for that reason he confined himself at first to declaring its use obligatory; as punishment for disobedience he added olive oil besides....But the Foolovites, too, could play a deep game. To the energy of action they very resourcefully opposed the energy of inaction. "Do with us what you will!" said some "Cut us into pieces, eat us with kasha, but we're not agreed!" (1a).
