- 29th June 2016The Senior Managers Regime (SMR), the Certification Regime (CR) and the Conduct Rules have now been implemented, but the compliance battle has only just begun.

- 14th April 2016Cloud technology is transforming the way we do business. Whereas once upon a time financial officers worried about the complexities and potential security implications of migrating their systems across to the cloud, today more and more are realising that the potential advantages far outweigh the perceived difficulties.

But what are the challenges of moving systems over to the cloud, real or perceived, and how can they be overcome?Panellists:Daryl Szebesta, Vice President for Cloud Transformation Assurance, Oracle ; Alex Hilton, Chief Executive, Cloud Industry Forum (CIF) ; Paul Simmonds, CEO, Global Identity FoundationHost:Charlie Corbett, Associate Editor of Financial News' Custom Studios
- 5th December 2015The market is shifting from an environment of extreme complacency to a more “normal” environment that focuses on increased volatility, less liquidity, wider credit spreads and potentially higher U.S. and global interest rates. How are pension funds and investment managers reacting to this? What are the best fixed income strategies to employ for clients in these circumstances? Or indeed, do you agree with this hypothesis at all? Maybe global economic uncertainty will keep rates lower for longer.Panellists:Henry Peabody, CFA, Vice President, Portfolio Manager, Eaton Vance Management ; Ed Britton, Fixed Income Specialist, Towers Watson ; Ben Bennett, Head of Credit Strategy, Legal & General Investment Management ; Monica Fan, Director, Consultant Relations EMEA, BNY Mellon Investment Management EMEA LimitedHost:Charlie Corbett, Associate Editor, FN Custom Studio
- 22nd July 2015Investment banks are drowning in data and regulators are demanding change. Banks must improve the governance, consistency and quality of their data through new management, aggregation and reporting processes. Only then, will banks truly understand their real-time capital and liquidity risks across all business lines. But it will take significant investment in infrastructure and people if they are to transform into modern data-driven institutions.

An industry-wide increase in demand for liquid assets could lead to shortfalls estimated at anywhere between $3.2 trillion and $12.2 trillion, which could significantly increase the costs of capital.

Investors are having to adjust to life in a low-return world. The long-term returns on growth assets such as equities, assumed to be 6% or 7% a year before the financial crisis began, may never recover to those levels. But there are areas on the periphery of mainstream asset classes that are generating strong returns, underlining the need to diversify with both asset allocation and investment tools - tools such as ETFs, which allow investors to gain access to non-core investments without costing the earth.Panellists:Scott Ebner, Global Head of Product Development and Research, SPDR ETFs ; Bev Sharp, Global Head of Retail Research, Mercer ; Johanna Kyrklund, Head of Multi-Asset Investments, Schroders ; Irene Bauer, Co-chief Investment Officer, Twenty20 InvestmentsHost:Yasmine Chinwala, Contributing Editor of the Special Reports Desk at Financial News - 15th November 2012

Dislocated markets offer opportunities for the nimble, and boutique asset managers are well positioned to carve out niches while the mainstream stagnates.

A discussion of the rise of boutiques was broadcast live online on September 26.Panellists:Paul Compton, Head of Strategy, Asset Management, SunGard ; James Barham, Chief Executive, River and Mercantile Asset Management ; James de Uphaugh, UK Fund Manager, Chairman, Chief Investment Officer, Majedie Asset Management ; Diana Mackay, Chief Executive, MackayWilliamsHost:Yasmine Chinwala, Executive Editor of Special Reports, Financial News - 26th April 2012
