ALFI European Asset Management Conference 2019 | The Association of the Luxembourg Fund Industry | 5 March 2019 | Luxexpo The Box, 10 Circuit de La Foire Internationale, 1347 Luxembourg

The ALFI European Asset Management Conference is the annual forum where the European asset management community – including investors, asset managers, fund administrators and fund selectors – shares, analyses and debates the most pressing industry aspects.

The event will examine the 4 Ps of asset management:
Product – Progress – People – Prediction

Why attend?
• Join some 600 delegates from more than 25 countries at THE event which puts Asset Managers and Investors centre-stage
• Learn how to best navigate the current industry environment
• Benefit from numerous networking opportunities with top representatives of the international Asset Management industry all gathered in one place
• Use the opportunity to engage with the ALFI community representing the second largest investment fund domicile in the world
• The event will provide ample opportunity to network with key representatives of the international asset management community.

Agenda topics will range from drivers of product innovation to the human factor, which shape fund marketing, fund design (think PEPP and ESG) and the industry’s workforce itself. Is the challenge scarcity of talent or the dawn of the age of AI?

Speakers will discuss economic and political developments in their impact on the industry as they translate into substance and delegation rules, the European Action Plan on sustainable finance and new AML obligations.

You will hear ESMA’s priorities for the industry first-hand, get crucial insights from the CSSF and witness advocates of passive vs active portfolio management battle it out on stage.
