RE: CONFERENCE ON THE GLOBALISATION OF MUTUAL FUNDS
__________________________________________________________
The Investment Company Institute is co-sponsoring with the
International Bar Association the fourth annual conference on the
Globalisation of Mutual Funds. This conference will be held in
Bermuda at the Marriott Castle Harbour Hotel, April 25-28, 1993.
It will focus on business and legal issues for mutual fund
sponsors with a particular emphasis on cross-border sales.
Enclosed is a brochure which describes this year's
conference agenda. There will be a panel dealing with practical
problems and realistic opportunities for fund managers seeking to
access the U.S., European and Japanese markets and a panel
dealing with regulatory issues for such managers. A panel debate
on the use of various fund structures, as well as panels on money
market funds, custodial, tax and a variety of other issues will
also be presented. Speakers at the conference represent a cross-
section of mutual fund business executives, attorneys and
accountants from Europe, Japan and the U.S.
Conference activities will include an opening reception
sponsored by the Organising Committee, a cocktail party hosted by
the Bank of Bermuda, the Bank of Butterfield and the Bermuda
Commercial Bank and a dinner sponsored by the International Bar
Association and the Institute.
To register for the conference, please return the attached
registration form along with the appropriate fee to the
Conference Administrator, Investment Company Institute as early

and space is limited to the first 300 registrants. If you have
any questions regarding registration, please call Clare Glynn or

We look forward to seeing you in Bermuda in April.
