3rd Annual GIPS Forum

CFA Society New York 1540 Broadway, New York City, NY, United States

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.

MIFID II: How It Will Impact Your Business

CFA Society New York 1540 Broadway, New York City, NY, United States

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.

3rd Annual Single Family Office Conference

CFA Society New York 1540 Broadway, New York City, NY, United States

The 3rd Annual Single Family Office Conference will feature a high-level discussion on major investment themes and global market dynamics from the perspective of single family offices. Single family offices are by definition running one family’s capital. They are therefore inherently not commercial in the sense that they are not looking to run third party capital and consequently generally prefer to be opaque and obscure investors and allocators. It is not often that third parties are given the opportunity to peak behind their proverbial ‘hoods.’ This panel will provide a rare glimpse at the allocators, their methodologies, investments and market views. It is not every day that one has the opportunity to gain first degree insight into the single family office space

The typical large consultant group usually has a division between the field consultants and the research consultants. The field consultants are the ones who meet with the clients. The research department mainly compiles the performance and other relevant information about the managers. From this the research, consultants provide the "short list" of approved managers that the field consultants use when they are assessing the best portfolio manager for a particular client. Investment consultants are highly influential in the institutional market.
