On the cusp of a new order
Even after two years of high drama since the collapse of
Lehman, the world is still experiencing very uncertain times and
yet despite the talk of further market crashes, a currency crisis,
financial meltdown and the demise of hedge funds, there is
a great deal of optimism for the future of investment funds
However, most people are agreed that the future will look
very different to what has gone before For instance, there
are major regulatory changes coming down the track not only
in the regulation of the investment funds industry itself but
financial services generally, including the regulation of banks
These changes will have their own impact on our industry
While most of us are optimistic about the future it is not at
all clear where the industry goal posts will finally be placed
There is still much debate, lobbying and work to be done
if we are to influence a new order which will be practical
and workable This is why the Globalisation of Investment
Funds Conference with its long and illustrious track record
is more relevant than ever Last year’s conference was an
unqualified success and I believe the main concern for 2011
is whether the venue will be able to accommodate the
expected increase in numbers I would therefore, encourage
all of you to book early We expect the debate around the
major regulatory initiatives and the emergence of certain
dominant products to be lively to say the least
We believe it is at conferences like ours that market participants
have the opportunity to make their voices heard and to
influence the development of the industry It is for this reason
that we encourage audience participation and lively debate
Challenging sacred cows is no bad thing and with this in mind
I invite you to join us again if you are an old friend and if you
have not been before please join us and make new friends
and contacts in the industry while at the same time informing
yourself of the changing nature of the industry
Yours sincerely,
David Dillon
