RE: GLOBALISATION OF MUTUAL FUNDS CONFERENCE, APRIL 28 TO MAY 1
______________________________________________________________________________
Attached is the conference brochure for the seventh annual conference on the
Globalisation of Mutual Funds, to be held in Bermuda at the Southampton Princess Hotel, April
28 - May 1, 1996. The Investment Company Institute 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 a session with regulators from five key
jurisdictions, in-depth studies on pricing errors, listing funds on stock exchanges and on
investing in India and the Middle East, as well as panels on globally offered private
placements, the global pension market, acquisitions of money managers across borders and the
use of asset allocation products and other strategies to help unsophisticated investors.
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. It
is anticipated that conference attendees also will represent a wide number of different
disciplines from different geographic locations, and ample opportunity will be provided for
social interaction among attendees and speakers.
Conference activities will include an opening reception and a cocktail reception and
farewell gala sponsored by the International Bar Association and the Institute.
