RE: INSTITUTE 1991 INVESTMENT ADVISERS CONFERENCE
__________________________________________________________
As we previously informed you, the Investment Company
Institute's 1991 Investment Advisers Conference will be held June
12 - 14, 1991 at the Sheraton Washington Hotel in Washington, DC.
The Institute has sponsored investment adviser conferences since
1984. They have become an important event for the exchange of
information and ideas among members of the industry. A highlight
of each conference is the opportunity to participate in question
and answer sessions with conference speakers following each
discussion session. Conference attendees also receive a notebook
of written material from each of the sessions, which has proven
to be a valuable source of information to advisers who attend the
conference.
In addition to the speakers and panelists featured in the
attached brochure, we are pleased to announce that Stephen A.
Blumenthal, Minority Counsel to the Energy and Commerce Committee
of the US House of Representatives, will speak on recent and
anticipated legislative developments which affect investment
advisers. Blumenthal joins other special guest speakers,
including Marianne K. Smythe, the new Director of the SEC's
Division of Investment Management, the Honorable Rick Boucher (D-
VA), a member of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce and
the author of recent investment adviser legislation, and David
George Ball, Assistant Secretary of the Department of Labor for
the Pension and Welfare Benefits Administration. We are also
pleased to announce that Frank W. Terrizzi, President of
Renaissance Investment Management, Inc., will speak on marketing
for advisers.
Throughout the conference, a vendor exhibition will feature
products and services which are available to investment advisers.
We urge you to complete the registration form included in
the conference brochure and return it to the Institute as soon as
possible. Hotel reservations should be made by calling the
Sheraton Washington Hotel at 202/328-2000 directly. The hotel is
a short walk from the National Zoo and is conveniently located
next to Washington's Metrorail Woodley Park/National Zoo station.
When making your reservation, be sure to indicate that you are
attending the Institute's Investment Advisers Conference. You
may also want to take advantage of the special air fares the
Institute has arranged for conference attendees. Refer to the

We look forward to seeing you in June.
