Investment & Technology presents:

Risk & Responsibility
Investment Administration Conference

March 3, 2009
Sydney Exhibition and Convention Centre

The 12th annual Investment Administration conference, produced in association with the Australian Custodial Services Association, focuses on ‘responsible’ risk taking and risk assessment for institutional investors.

It is likely that risk will be richly rewarded after the dust settles on the current crisis in banking and financial services but investors need, more than ever, the best assessment and measurement procedures.

There is no longer any guarantee that all of your counterparties will be around tomorrow. In this context, reporting and compliance will be scrutinised like never before.

Further, in an age of diminished expectations for many beta sources, any basis points that can be eked out of better implementation and after-tax management are precious indeed.

A total of 18 sessions, including plenaries and two concurrent streams – administration/technology and distribution/platforms – in one busy day.

Sessions include:

How We Got Into This Mess – A (very) Long-Term Perspective.
China and the New World Order. Chris Ruffle, Martin Currie, Shanghai
Putting it All Together – A Better Asset Allocation Mix After the Crisis. Gareth Abley, MLC Implemented Consulting
What’s Changed Forever – New Relationships in Financial Services. James Phalen, State Street, London
What your Custodians Don’t Want you to Know – contracts, risks and fees: Are some funds too big to be safely banked. Simon Thomas, Thomas Murray, London.
Securities Lending and Shorting – What’s a Fund to Do? Panel chaired by Leigh Watson, head of NAB Custodian Services.
The Coming Revolution in Administration – Coupling Scale and Technology. Chris Bain, Computershare Fund Services.
Towards an Homogenous System for Funds Management Transactions. Panel session chaired by Rob Brown, Ausmaq.
Accessing the Retail Market in the Future. Panel (tbc)
Risk reduction delivered by new systems. Iain Dunstan, Bravura Solutions
Derivatives and Counterparty Risk – What happens When the Dust Settles (tbc).

More than 300 attendees are expected, including super fund executives, consultants, funds managers, custodians and dealer group representatives.
