European Asset Management Conference 2021 | ALFI - Association of the Luxembourg Fund Industry | 16 March 2021 | Virtual Event

The ALFI European Asset Management Conference returns in March once again as a virtual event. For four consecutive mornings the event platform will deliver 2 ½ hours per day of insightful content, reflecting the collective views, opinions, updates and foresight of the asset management sector, including fund selectors, distributors, service providers, regulators and keynote interventions, as well of course as the asset manager community itself.

The industry stands at a crossroads, arriving from a post-Brexit, post-Trump world still seeking to emerge from the ravages of a global pandemic, but seemingly harmonised around the importance of sustainable finance. Which way from here? Our expert speaker line-up will debate the future direction of the industry, its massive potential to positively impact the global economy, society and the environment, and the opportunities to thrive as the world eventually emerges from its Covid restrictions.

Days 1 and 2 will focus on asset managers and how they meet the needs of investors and day 3 focuses on regulation and the regulator. Day 4 takes a more strategic and structural look at the next five years and predicts how the sector may evolve, and how Luxembourg continues to innovate and adapt to the needs of a sector in transformation.
