There’s only four more days to take advantage of the early bird rate for this year’s Channel Islands Funds Forum, so delegates are advised to book as soon as possible this week to take advantage of the special price.
The event – ‘A Sharper Focus’ – is produced in partnership with PwC, sponsored by Appleby, JTC Group and Optimus Group, and supported by Rossborough Professional Risks and Puritas.
This year, the main conference will take place from 11am-5.30pm on Wednesday 27 September at the Radisson Blu in St Helier. It will be followed by drinks and the opportunity to network. The early bird delegate rate is available until 28 April.
Prior to the main event, experts from Preqin, the alternative assets industry’s leading source of data and intelligence, will present an exclusive session on the global alternative assets industry and where the Channel Islands sit in that landscape.
Anyone booking a full event ticket will automatically be able to attend the seminar, which runs from 9.30-10.30am. For those who can’t attend the full day, reduced priced tickets are available for the seminar alone.
As in previous years, the conference will bring together leading funds practitioners from the Channel Islands and beyond to discuss the challenges, opportunities and issues that are dominating the funds space right now.
This conference will comprise a variety of sessions and panels covering a wide range of subjects, as follows:
• The past 12 months in funds – a round-up of what’s happened in Guernsey and Jersey’s funds industries in the previous year
• The global geopolitical landscape and its impact on funds. Uncertainty caused by Brexit, turmoil in the Trump administration and volatility in the Middle East are just a few of the issues that could put pressure on funds
• The view from the outside – a panel of experts from outside the Channel Islands give their take on the funds industries in Guernsey and Jersey
• The Channel Islands respond – following on from the previous session, Channel Islands funds practitioners respond to the points raised
• Where is the money flowing? An examination of where the funds industry will be gaining business from in the coming year
• What next for funds? What are the biggest challenges and opportunities in the coming year?
An early bird delegate rate of £245 is available until 28 April, when the price will rise to £315.
For those wishing to only attend the Preqin seminar, the ticket price is £40.
Up to 6.5 hours of CPD are available depending on the sessions attended.
