Our Central Bank and Reserve Funds Summit delegates will discuss their monetary policy and reserve management asset allocation approaches in addition to their outlook for global financial markets.
Our panel of experts will explore the new regulation known as “Markets in Financial Instruments Directive” (MiFID II), a policy directive that will have far reaching consequences for all financial services firms. The central theme of this regulation is increased transparency and safeguards for investors and has direct implications for areas such as treatment of soft dollars, research and data access, break evens for small and emerging managers and beyond. Currently only a European regulation, this is highly likely to at least impact firms operating in the US and yet the implications are still poorly understood by the investing world. We will explore the positives and the negatives to this legislation and its effect on investment firms.

The Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS) are a set of standardized, industry-wide ethical principles that provide investment management firms with guidance on how to calculate and report investment performance to prospective clients. Investment managers voluntarily choose to abide by the GIPS standards – compliance is not mandated by any law or regulation. For many years, GIPS compliance has been seen as an essential ingredient that can make or break a firm’s marketing efforts in terms of winning new mandates and maintaining institutional clients. This conference provides a forum in New York to discuss the most recent developments in the GIPS standards and hear from industry experts on how they implement the standards and other performance measurement analyses at their respective firms. The conference will provide attendees to interact with the speakers during breaks and a networking period at the end.

Many public and corporate pension retirement systems worldwide are confronted with lower investment returns on existing assets that currently underfund the ultimate financial obligations of those plans. As a result, pension plans have been exploring different investment strategies and exposure to alternative asset classes.

Respondents were asked a series of questions seeking to understand their perceptions of listed options strategies and to explore how institutional investors utilize exchange-listed equity options to achieve investment goals.
