On June 19-20, 130+ investment management executives from 80 organizations gathered in New York City for the Strategic Insight Fund Trends 2012 conference. The 1 ½-day event featured discussions of such trends as what is driving innovation in the investment management industry, how successful executives are positioning their firms for the long run, and what distributors and advisors are looking for.
As always, the conference was packed with valuable takeaways and attended by senior investment management professionals with an average of 17 years in the business. Fund Trends 2012 appealed to fund executives trying to see the big picture in order to get the small details right - whether C-level executive or a senior exec in product management, planning, distribution or retirement. This conference offered:
- Panels with industry experts
- Moderated discussions with gatekeepers at important broker-dealers
- Networking with peers in the mutual fund business
- Content crafted by Strategic Insight, a trusted name for 25 years
