This might not be an exact fit, but here's a link to new (free) business case study on the financial services industry: Bailouts and Bonuses on Wall Street: http://www.corporate-ethics.org/pdf/BRI-1007_Bailout_Bonus_Wall_Street.pdf
In this new Institute case study, Matt, a top level executive at Goldman Sachs, never figured that how he paid his employees would be one of his most pressing issues-not after having watched his entire industry turned on its head for the past two years and the world economy shaken to its core.
But as of January 2010, all that was on Matt's mind was how to deal with his own group of highly paid traders who had been promised generous compensation packages and had made Goldman Sachs between $1.5 – $3.0B in 2008 and 2009.
Compensation decisions within the financial industry became a matter of public debate in the wake of one of the worst financial crises to ravage Wall Street and send the rest of the global economy into a downward spiral.
Given the hostile climate toward his industry, Matt knew something had to change, but he is also concerned that changes may lead star employees to exit the firm.
Best,

Subject: Suggestions for cases related to financial services, specifically fund management or related areas.
I am looking for a case or two related to strategic issues in a financial services firm, preferably related to a portfolio management or mutual fund company (rather than an investment bank or brokerage firm). The target audience is for mid/high level managers in a fund management firm. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Todd
