In this episode of The Allocation Agenda, we sit down with Matthew Burrows, Director of Investment Relations and Marketing at Frostrow Capital LLP, to explore the role of the intermediary in allocator–manager relationships. With a background in discretionary portfolio management, and now working as the ‘middleman’ between allocators and fund managers, Burrows offers a unique perspective on how to build trust and alignment between two distinct sides of the investment landscape.
He challenges the short-termism often imposed on fund managers, and argues that real conversations should be enabled, not replaced, by technology. From reconciling mismatched timelines to reducing friction through clearer communication, this episode offers a candid look at what it takes to strengthen relationships in a fast-moving, data-saturated industry.
