- [1428387-011](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/1428387-011) [failure/argued] *(failure mode)* -- Outsourcing valuation to an independent administrator can be nominal rather than real: the administrator may lack the understanding of complex securities products needed to value the positions, so the manager remains in charge of valuation even though the function has formally been externalized.

  > This seems to suggest that concerns over service providers (over)interpreting required Form PF data on behalf of filers, among other concerns over service providers' completing Form PF, may not be justified.
