In just three years, Crane Data LLC's product lineup has grown from a single newsletter, our flagship Money Fund Intelligence, to a lineup of over a dozen products providing information on money market mutual funds and cash investments. The latest entrant is Crane's Money Fund Symposium, a conference on money market mutual funds to be held at the Renaissance Hotel in Providence, R.I., August 23-25, 2009.

Crane Data's inaugural gathering will bring money fund portfolio managers, analysts, and traders; corporate and government cash investors; money market issuers; regulators, raters, portals and service providers; and other money fund professionals to discuss current issues in the marketplace. We are excited about our entry into the conference business (with the assistance of our partner, Kinsley Associates), and we invite all www.cranedata.com readers to attend.

Money Fund Symposium was created as an affordable new venue for exchanging ideas, networking, and learning about the latest investment strategies, business tactics, and news impacting money funds. Registration for Crane's Money Fund Symposium is just $500 for signups prior to July 1; sponsorships are almost sold out. The registration page is now live at www.kinsleymeetings.com/crane/register.asp and the final agenda has now been set.

Speakers include: Crane Data's Peter Crane, Federated Investors' Eugene Maloney and Debbie Cunningham, Wells Fargo Advantage Funds's Dave Sylvester, Standard & Poor's Peter Rizzo, ICI's Brian Reid, Treasury Strategies' Tony Carfang, SSgA's Steve Meier, Western Asset's Kevin Kennedy, Dreyfus' Colleen Meehan, SVB Asset Management's Joe Morgan, Banc of America Securities' Chris Walsh, JPMorgan's Alex Roever, Capital Advisors Lance Pan, IMMFA's Travis Barker, Fitch Ratings' Viktoria Baklanova, Moody's Henry Shilling, Reed Smith's Steven Keen, Pricewaterhousecoopers' Tony Evangelista, and more.
