RE: CONFERENCE ON THE GLOBALIZATION OF MUTUAL FUNDS
______________________________________________________
The Investment Company Institute is co-sponsoring with the
International Bar Association a conference on the Globalization of
Mutual Funds. This conference, which will be held in Bermuda at
the Hamilton Princess Hotel on April 27-29, 1992, will focus on
business and legal issues for mutual fund sponsors with a
particular emphasis on cross-border sales.
As shown in the attached brochure, there will be a panel
dealing with issues for U.S. and Canadian funds seeking to access
European markets and a panel dealing with foreign funds seeking to
access the U.S. market. There also will be a panel debate on the
best jurisdiction in which to locate an offshore fund marketed in
Europe, as well as other panels on a variety of regulatory and tax
issues. Speakers at the conference represent a varied cross-
section of mutual fund business executives, attorneys and
accountants from both Europe and the U.S. Conference activities
will include a cocktail party hosted by the Bank of Bermuda, the
Bank of Butterfield and Bermuda Commercial Bank as well as a tour
of Bermuda for spouses and guests.
To register for the conference, please return the attached
registration form and appropriate fee to the International Bar
Association as early as possible. Because we expect substantial
interest in the conference and the space is limited, we urge you to
register as soon as possible. If you have any questions regarding
registration, please call Clare Glynn at 202-955-3555.
We look forward to seeing you in Bermuda in April.
