Registrations and sponsorships are now being accepted for our 4th annual Crane's Money Fund University, which will take place January 23-24, 2014, at The Renaissance Providence Hotel. Money Fund University offers attendees an affordable and comprehensive two day, "basic training" course on money market mutual funds.

New portfolio managers, analysts, investors, issuers, service providers, and anyone interested in expanding their knowledge of "cash" investing should benefit from our comprehensive program. Even experienced professionals should enjoy a refresher course and the opportunity to interact with peers in an informal setting. Attendee registration for Crane's Money Fund University is $500. Exhibit space is $2,000 and sponsorship opportunities are $3K, $4.5K, and $5K. (Click here to register. A block of rooms has been reserved at The Renaissance Providence Hotel.
