Harnessing Change to Propel Growth will be the central message at our conference.
Asset management is at a crossroads. Increased competition across asset classes and market segments, higher client expectations, consolidation across the industry ecosystem, margin pressure and new technology are just some of the issues facing asset managers today.
Distribution related functions, including marketing, product, sales, service, and consultant relations, are at the epicenter of these changes. While disruptive markets create challenges, they also create opportunities to gain competitive advantage.
Asset managers who skillfully adapt and evolve their business models, strategies, and tactics will be poised to achieve sustainable growth and profitability. Implementing the optimal approaches at both a firm-wide and functional level will characterize the market leaders of the future.
We will host an intimate welcome reception and dinner with keynote address on Thursday, October 16, followed by a full-day event with multiple distinguished speakers and panel sessions on Friday, October 17. Additional details on the agenda, panel sessions and speakers will be available in the coming weeks.
