RE: 1996 MUTUAL FUND TRAINING CONFERENCE
______________________________________________________________________________
The 1996 Mutual Fund Training Conference, sponsored by the Investment Company
Institute, will be held from June 12 - 14, 1996 at the Capital Hilton Hotel in Washington, D.C.
This conference, the Institutes eighth training conference since 1983, is designed to serve as a
training vehicle for new employees as well as a refresher and update for more experienced
personnel.
As the enclosed preliminary brochure indicates, the conference will cover the basic areas
of mutual fund management, operation and regulation. Ten different panels will make
presentations over a three-day period. The final panel, consisting of SEC staff members, will
discuss the "Role of the SEC" with respect to the inspection, disclosure and review process on
the federal level.
To register for the conference, return the registration form at the back of the brochure
with the appropriate fee to the Institute. A block of rooms has been reserved at the Capital
Hilton Hotel for conference attendees. Please call the hotel directly at (202) 393-1000 for
reservations and be sure to mention that you are attending the Investment Company Institutes
conference.
We look forward to seeing you in June.
