Crane's Mini Fund Symposium Webinar
We'll continue our nascent monthly webinar and virtual event series later this month with "Crane's Money Fund Webinar: Mini Fund Symposium, which will take place Wednesday, August 26 from 1-4pm Eastern. Please join us! Crane Data's Peter Crane will host a 3-hour series of sessions discussing money market mutual funds and money market securities. Segments will include: "The State of the Money Fund Industry," with Peter Crane; "Treasury Issuance, Fed & Repo Update," with BofA's Mark Cabana and Barclays' Joe Abate; "Regulatory & ESG Money Funds Update" with Dechert's Stephen Cohen; and "Major Money Fund Issues 2020" with Dreyfus/BNY Mellon's Tracy Hopkins, Fidelity's Michael Morin and J.P. Morgan A.M.'s John Tobin. A virtual "cocktail" party will follow. In late July, we hosted "Crane's Money Fund Webinar: Portfolio Manager Perspectives," which featured Federated Hermes' Sue Hill, Northern Trust Asset Management's Peter Yi and UBS Asset Management's David Walczak. (Click here to access the recording and click here to access the News coverage.) We also will be hosting a virtual event on "Alt-Cash" and Ultra-Short Bond Funds on Sept. 24 (1-4pm) and (likely) a virtual Money Fund Symposium on October 27 (1-4) (if we're forced to cancel our Minneapolis event). We're still holding out for our annual Crane's Money Fund Symposium, which is scheduled for October 26-28, 2020, at the Hyatt Regency Minneapolis. But we'll announce next week whether we're cancelling and moving this to June 28-29, 2021 or proceeding and doing a hybrid live and virtual event (we'll need some good news on the coronavirus real soon for this). The latest agenda is available and registrations are still being taken at: www.moneyfundsymposium.com, but we'll refund or credit for 2021 if we do indeed cancel. Finally, mark your calendars for our 2021 conferences (and keep your fingers crossed): Money Fund University, scheduled for Jan. 21-22, 2021 in Pittsburgh, Pa.; Bond Fund Symposium, scheduled for March 25-26, 2021, in Newport Beach, Calif.; and European Money Fund Symposium, scheduled for October 21-22, 2021 in Paris. We hope to see you on a webinar, or at a physical event, soon!
