C is for Composites, don’t hide the list
D is for Dollar or currency expressed
E for Expenses, traders’ fees are gross
F is for Flowers bundled for the host
G is for GIPS local laws can attack
H is the Hand that withholds the tax
I, redef-EYE-ning, disclose a firm date
J is for jumping around with the rates
K, calculation, composite, I’m stuck
L is a lever, derivatives suck
M is Millennium the compliance age
N is for Name so disclose any change
O is objectives, strategy, style & description
P presentations and the fees that fit them
Q is the request that you can make
R retro-rocket no un-baking the cake
S is for star, and did one resign?
T is for turkey at the end of ’09 [carve-outs]
U is for under or the sub-advisor
V is for value on the last day or higher
W is for water, minimum level yet?
X is a pattern, two threads make a NET.
