AIMSE Europe Annual Conference

Aimse Europe
London, United Kingdom

“Mo money mo problems”.

What can the industry do to restore trust? 
Comments on the implications of the FCA Review. What changes are coming down the line for asset managers and consultants? What can the industry learn from more trust worthy sectors?

This full-day conference aims to help business development managers overcome their working challenges and tackle of-the-moment issues in this ever changing landscape. We are going beyond the traditional DB and DC pensions to look at some of the big picture stuff that is shaping our industry’s future. The theme of the conference is ‘Transformational Change’ and how we can meet the various challenges that are coming our way. The conference will be highly interactive and will deliver strong messages to support your sales and marketing strategy. We will provide you with highly relevant topics presented by leading asset owners, consultants and industry speakers:

The power of platforms
What will be the impact that platforms such as AMX & Aon Vision are having on the industry?

Pooling/asset consolidation
The UK has 6,000 DB Plans. Many say that is too many and it’s inefficient. Is Corporate DB set to embark on a similar journey to the LGPS sector? And if so, what might it look like?

ETF-ization and the incredible shrinking universe of stocks
There has been a sharp fall in the number of listed stocks in the US – roughly a 50% decline in the last 10 years. At the same time, the number of ETDFs has outnumbered the number of stocks. We will explore the impact of both of these mega trends.

Is stock picking dead?
Is factor based investing replacing the stock pickers? Is this relatively new concept a fad or here to stay? Have technological advances reached a point where today’s alpha is tomorrow’s beta?
