They will be discussing on various themes ranging from the current regulatory changes affecting the institutional space to the challenge of finding alternatives at a time when yields on so-called safe assets such as government bonds is among the foremost areas of discussion.
The Summit will count on the CFA Society Italy as its main educational partner which, through an ongoing series of events for investment practitioners, offers a range of educational opportunities and facilitates the open exchange of information and opinions among investment professionals.
CFA Society Italy was founded in 1999 as a non-profit organisation of investment professionals who agreed to abide by the CFA Institute Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional Conduct.
Although it was created in 1999, the Society changed its name to the Italian CFA Society (ICFAS) in 2005 and in 2012 to CFA Society Italy.
Further details on the event's themes and speakers will be revealed soon.
