RFP: Diary of an institutional salesman, part 16

When I saw the e-mail pop into my inbox, I will confess, dear diary, a moment of joy. Admittedly, the subject line is not something to impress anyone at a cocktail party: “Invitation for Expression of Interest for Investment Management Service for Multi-Asset (Hong Kong equity and global bond) Portfolio”. But it was sent to me, William T. Fitzgerald of Integrity Asset Management, directly from the director of investments at one of Hong Kong’s biggest quasi-government agencies, Public Lands & Open Domains (Plod).
