While Crane Data is gearing up for its next live event, European Money Fund Symposium, which will take place Sept. 19-20 in London, England, we are also making plans for our next Money Fund University educational conference. Our 14th annual MFU will once again focus on a higher level "Master's in Money Markets" format instead of its earlier "basic training" focus, and will contain expanded content on Rule 2a-7 and the SEC's new Money Market Fund Reforms. It will take place at The Renaissance Hotel in Providence, R.I., Dec. 19-20, 2024. Crane's Money Fund University is designed for those relatively new to the money market fund industry or those in need of a concentrated refresher on a broad core curriculum. The event also focuses on hot topics like money market fund regulations, money fund alternatives, offshore markets, and other recent industry trends. Our educational conference features a faculty of the money fund industry's top lawyers, strategists, and portfolio managers, and the Providence show will include an extended free training session (and lunch) for Crane Data clients, as well as a Holiday party where all are welcome. Money Fund University offers a 2-day crash course on money market mutual funds, educating attendees on the history of money funds, the Fed, interest rates, ratings, rankings, and money market instruments such as commercial paper, Treasury bills, CDs and repo. We also cover portfolio construction and credit analysis. Registrations ($750) are now being taken, and the latest agenda is available here. (E-mail us to request the latest brochure.) New portfolio managers, analysts, investors, issuers, service providers, and anyone interested in expanding their knowledge of "cash" investing should benefit from our comprehensive program. Even experienced professionals may enjoy a refresher course and the opportunity to interact with peers in an informal setting. Also, please join us next month for the 10th Annual Crane's European Money Fund Symposium. The latest agenda is available and registrations are still being taken for this year's European event, which will take place Sept. 19-20 at the Hilton London Tower Bridge in London, England. Registration for European Money Fund Symposium is $1,000 USD. Mark your calendars too for our next Bond Fund Symposium, which will be held in Newport Beach, CA, on March 27-28, 2025 and for our next Money Fund Symposium, which will be held in Boston, Mass., June 23-25, 2025. Let us know if you'd like more details on any of our events, and we hope to see you in London next month, in Providence in December, in Newport Beach in March 2025, or in Boston in June 2025!
