Our annual global Connect Forum returns on Wednesday 1 and Thursday 2 December 2021. Join us as we host industry leaders from across the world in a series of discussions over two days. The forum will focus on accelerating the future of funds.
The event will take an in-depth look into fund flow trends from across the world, ask market experts for their views and analysis on what these mean now and for the future, and discuss how new asset classes and product innovations are being deployed for the good of the industry and the investor. We will also share the latest updates and future plans for our leading solutions, including DMI (Distributed Market Infrastructure) Fund Services.
The future is coming at us faster than ever. As an industry built on the capital of others we have a duty to focus on making a real difference for our clients and enabling investors to achieve their long term goals.
Join us and be ready for the year ahead.
