Fund and Investment Managers Forum at a glanceWednesday 17 September 2008
Thursday 18 September 2008
Highlights of the Fund and Investment Management Forum include interactive panel sessions on: Hedge funds versus Investment Managers: When two worlds collide?
As the industry consolidates and traditional investment firms seek to get on the hedge fund bandwagon, it’s no longer unusual to find hedge funds and mutual funds being run by the same firm. But managing a hedge fund is very different to managing a mutual fund: different cultures, different levels of complexity in traded instruments, different core systems in front and back offices, different investment strategies – and different operational requirements. How do you overcome the culture-clash? How do you integrate two separate operational systems? Speaker: - Jeremy Charles, COO, Thames River
- Drew Douglas, Head of Alternative Fund Services, HSBC
- Bill Gourlay, Regional Head of Funds Markets, SWIFT
- Markus Ruetimann, Group COO, Schroders
Where is my pension?
The issue of pension shortfalls is a universal one, caused by a combination of longer life expectancy and inadequate planning. How does the financial services industry need to respond? In most markets, you need returns way above forecast beta. Does that mean that leveraged investment will become the norm? How should we fill the holes? Speaker: - Robert Brown, CEO, Ausmaq
- Glyn Edward, Funds, Custodian and Administrators, SWIFT
- Susan Mangiero, CEO, Pension Governance LLC
- Clive Witherington, Head of Business Development, Watson Wyatt
