Review of PARM 2009 that took place in November 2009

What's The State Of Play In 2009/10?

With the credit crunch beginning to level out, there is talk of a brighther 2010: the world of performance measurement evolves apace.

This evolution is being driven more and more by the growing complexity of financial instruments, mounting requirements for transparency, and higher expectations from asset managers and clients.

Furthermore, investors are seeking to understand not only the sources of return in their portfolio, but also their sources of loss.

The Most Important Risk & Performance Conference Of The Year

- Where were you able to find the most cutting edge information?
- What are the risk & performance industry specialists working on now?
- Do you think you can find all of this out in 2 days?

The answer is "yes".

But the only way you can find all of this out was to attend the 17th Annual Performance, Attribution, & Risk Management Forum (PARM 17).

This essential event once again attracted 100+ senior investment management attendees from around the world - and this year it proved especially important to keep up with your peers in the industry. A seismic re-evaluation is occurring in the industry, new research is emerging: and you should not be left behind...

We look forward to seeing you all again in November 2010, and hope to see many new faces and as well as those familiar to the Forum as we look to a brighter 2010 and beyond.
