Most fund managers spend 18 hours per week on tasks that do not make money.
These include updating spreadsheets, writing reports, and answering basic client questions.
Studies show that 67% of fund managers work nights and weekends just to keep up with paperwork.
All this extra work costs you in two ways – lost time and missed chances to grow your fund.

This frees up 26-36 hours per week for what really matters – growing your fund.
Top fund managers spend only 35% of their time on actual investment analysis – the rest is admin work that a VA can handle.
