EFAMA Investment Management Forum 2021 | European Fund and Asset Management Association (EFAMA) | 18 November 2021 | Virtual Event

The Investment Management Forum is EFAMA’s flagship event, bringing together industry leaders, investors and policymakers to discuss topics of common interest and importance.

The asset management industry is in a position to offer solutions to the many challenges lying ahead, and turn them into opportunities; this includes dealing with the retirement savings gap, empowering investors, advancing the sustainability agenda, financing infrastructures and working to safeguard a competitive Europe in times of global interconnectedness.​

Now in its 27th edition, this year’s event will be a unique opportunity to present the state of the European investment management industry and how it can contribute to build back better.

Key industry themes:
• The impact of digitalization on asset management
• EU Strategy for retail investment: the golden key to unlocking capital market participation?
• Defining global standards for sustainability reporting
• Alternative investment regulations under the microscope: challenges and opportunities
• Is there a case for a macro-prudential framework for the funds industry?
• Hot topics and trends in U.S. regulation of funds and asset managers (Legal Workshop)
