RE: GLOBALISATION OF MUTUAL FUNDS CONFERENCE, MAY 1-4
__________________________________________________________
Enclosed is the final conference brochure for the fifth annual
conference on the Globalisation of Mutual Funds, to be held in
Bermuda at the Southampton Princess Hotel, May 1-4, 1994. The
Investment Company is co-sponsoring the conference with the
International Bar Association.
This year's conference will address a variety of globalisation
issues from both the legal and business perspective. Our program
includes panels on concurrent offerings in multiple jurisdictions,
innovations in customer services, providing advisory services
cross-border and creative marketing developments in jurisdictions
around the world. A role-playing format will be used to evaluate
the business and legal issues involved in selecting the appropriate
jurisdiction for an offshore fund. Other panels will update
developments regarding the master/feeder structure and new and
innovative products.
As in past years, the conference speakers will represent a
cross-section of mutual fund business executives, attorneys and
accountants from the U.S. and a variety of other countries. Since
it is anticipated that conference attendees also will represent a
wide number of different disciplines from different geographic
locations, ample opportunity will be provided for social
interaction among attendees and speakers.
Conference activities will include an opening reception, a
cocktail party hosted by The Bank of Bermuda, The Bank of
Butterfield and Bermuda Commercial Bank, a golf and tennis outing
hosted by The Bank of Bermuda and a buffet sponsored by the
International Bar Association and the Institute.
To register for the conference, please return the enclosed
registration form along with the appropriate fee to the Investment
Company Institute without delay. Space is limited and we expect to
reach our capacity in registrations soon. If you have any
questions regarding registration, please call the Institute's
Conference Division at 202-326-5968.
We look forward to seeing you in Bermuda.
