Capital commitment

The text currently says "Like most hedge funds, TCI requires investors to commit their capital for multi-year periods". Surely this isn't the case (as in, most hedge funds don't require this)? 195.72.169.116 (talk) 09:58, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Yes this is the case, and indeed many hedge funds request a "lock up" of investor's money for considerable periods of time. Why? In short because they can, and it gives them more certainty about AUM. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.67.30.75 (talk) 18:51, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

No... this is not the case. While a portion of hedge funds do require lock up periods, using the broad descriptor "most" is an unsubstantiated generalization derived from either partial or misleading information. The phrase "Like most hedge funds, TCI requires investors to commit their capital for multi-year periods" should be amended to something more along the lines of "Like some similar hedge funds, TCI requires investors to commit their capital for multi-year periods" —Preceding unsigned comment added by Justinlexington (talk • contribs) 21:26, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

downfall of both RBS and Fortis ???

You can refer to a downfall of Fortis, after all they went broke but you can't really refer to a downfall of RBS. They took over the international business of ABN Amro and they still have it, as far as I know.
