We received an e-mail solicitation from Institutional Investors for a "Money Market Funds Reform - Issues and Implications" Webinar, which will be held on Wednesday, February 10, 2010, from 1-2pm. The e-mail is subtitled, "Re-Establishing The Economic Purpose And Investor Benefits Of Money Market Funds," and says, "After the Primary Reserve Fund 'broke the buck' last year, the SEC proposed new regulation on money market funds that called for greater liquidity requirements, an increase in reporting, and restrictions on securities investing -- dramatic changes that could alter the purpose and role of these funds in investors' portfolios. Join Joe Keenan, Managing Director, Head of Relationship Management at BNY Mellon Asset Servicing, as he moderates a panel of money market fund experts in a discussion on the changing role of this asset class." Panelists include: ICI's Jane Heinrichs, BNY Mellon's Matt Bromberg, and Stradley Ronon's Joan Swirsky. Also, as a reminder, S&P says it will host a teleconference today, Jan. 14, 2010, at 11:00 a.m. EST. The dial-in number is 1-210-795-1098; for the U.K. it is 44-20-7108-6248. The conference ID is 2850908, and the passcode is "SANDP."
