Money Fund University Hotel Deadline
For those planning on attending our Money Fund University in January, time is running out for our discounted hotel rates (the attendee rate ends Dec. 31). As we've mentioned, Crane Data will host its third annual Crane's Money Fund University at The Roosevelt Hotel in New York City, Jan. 24-25, 2013. Money Fund University was designed to offer attendees an affordable and comprehensive two day, "basic training" course on money market mutual funds, educating attendees on the history of money funds, interest rates, Rule 2a-7, ratings, rankings, money market instruments such as commercial paper and repo, and portfolio construction and credit analysis. With our first New York City show, we will continue our expanded focus on money fund regulations and Rule 2a-7, with two sessions on the topic (past and potential future), and we've added new sessions on "offshore" money funds and technology tools. Crane Data is also preparing to publish the preliminary agenda and is accepting registrations for its big show, Money Fund Symposium, which will be held June 19-21, 2013, at the Hyatt Regency in Baltimore, Md.. (See www.moneyfundsymposium.com for details.) Let us know if you'd like more information on this event, and watch for more information in coming days.
