Money Funds Gear Up for AFP
Money market mutual funds and cash investment pros are gearing up for the AFP Annual Conference, "the most important event for treasury and finance," which will be held in San Antonio, Texas, November 7-10, 2010. The event is billed as "the largest event for treasury and finance in the world." The agenda includes several sessions involving money market funds, and the exhibit hall is sure to contain well over a dozen fund sponsors. We invite attendees to visit Crane Data LLC, the publisher of Money Fund Intelligence, at AFP in San Antonio at Booth #1313. (Contact Pete or Kaio if you'd like to arrange a meeting at the show. We'd be happy to discuss our products and latest research, and we'll be giving away subscriptions to our Money Fund Intelligence newsletter and to our Money Fund University and Money Fund Symposium conferences.) Peter Crane will be speaking on "Money Market Mutual Funds: Doing More Due Diligence" with The Mosaic Co.'s Ken Bodell on Tuesday, Nov. 9, at 10:30 a.m. Other sessions of interest to cash investors include: "Investing Cash: Opportunities in the Cash and Short Duration Markets in the New Normal" with Robert Lau of Informatica and Paul Reisz of PIMCO; "Dissecting the Prime Institutional Money Fund: Conducting Due Diligence on Money Fund Investments" with Lance Pan of Capital Advisors Group and Trey Huffman, of EarthLink; and, "A Post-Modern Paradigm for Corporate Investing" with Kathleen Clune of Pacific Life Insurance Company, Nancy Edwards, Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA), and Deborah Cunningham of Federated Investors. We hope to see you in Texas!
