Crane Data 2018 Conference Lineup
Crane Data would like to thank the speakers, sponsors and attendees that supported our conferences in 2017, and we'd like to remind you to mark your calendars and consider attending one (or more) of our 2018 events -- Money Fund University, Bond Fund Symposium, Money Fund Symposium and European Money Fund Symposium. Money market professionals new to the space should take note of next month's "basic training" event, Crane's Money Fund University. Our 8th annual MFU returns to the Boston Hyatt Regency in Boston, Mass., January 18-19, 2018, and is designed for those new to the money market fund industry or those in need of a concentrated refresher on the basics. The event also focuses on hot topics like money market regulations, money fund alternatives, offshore markets, and other recent industry trends. The affordable educational conference (see the agenda here or e-mail us to request our brochure) features a faculty of the money fund industry's top lawyers, strategists, and portfolio managers. Money Fund University offers attendees a 2-day course on money market mutual funds, educating attendees on the history of money funds, the Fed, Rule 2a-7, ratings, rankings, money market instruments such as commercial paper, CDs, CP, ABC, repo, plus portfolio construction. At our upcoming Boston event, we will also take a look at ultra-short bond funds and Europeans MMF regulations.
