The Council of Institutional Investors is surveying soft-dollar practices among its 100-plus members, confirmed Ann Yerger, director of the group's research service.
The Washington group is collecting information from its members and intends to summarize the soft-dollar, directed brokerage and commission recapture practices and policies among its members - public pension funds, union pension funds and corporate plans with more than $1 trillion in assets, Ms. Yerger said.
The survey is in response to inquiries from some members about other funds' practices, she said.
