RE: 8TH ANNUAL GLOBALISATION OF MUTUAL FUNDS CONFERENCE, MAY
4-7, 1997
______________________________________________________________________________
Attached is the conference brochure for the eighth annual conference on the
Globalisation of Mutual Funds, to be held in Bermuda at the Southampton Princess Hotel, May
4-7, 1997. This conference is sponsored by the Investment Company Institute and the
International Bar Association.
This year’s conference will address a variety of global issues from both the legal and
business perspective. Our program includes a panel with regulators as well as panels on
clearance, settlement and custody in emerging markets, tax issues, guaranteed funds, offering
hedge funds across borders, marketing funds on the Internet, case histories on entering foreign
markets, and new and innovative products.
As in past years, the conference speakers will represent a cross-section of mutual fund
business executives, attorneys, accountants and regulators 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.
To register for the conference, please fill in and return the registration form (located in
the enclosed brochure) with a check made payable to the Investment Company Institute for the
appropriate fee. Space for this conference is limited, and slots fill quickly so we advise you
to register early. 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.

Vice President and Senior Counsel
