RE: 1998 MUTUAL FUND TRAINING CONFERENCE
______________________________________________________________________________
The 1998 Mutual Fund Training Conference, sponsored by the Investment Company
Institute, will be held from June 3 -5, 1998 at the Capital Hilton Hotel in Washington, D.C.
This conference 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. Nine 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. It is important to register as early as possible, please
note that May 11, 1998 is the hotel cut-off date. 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.
