SIFMA AMA Roundtable; NEAFP
As spring approaches, the first leg of the annual conference season also draws near. Crane Data, money fund providers, and various segments of the cash marketplace are preparing for a number of conferences over the coming months. Below, we review a couple that we'll be speaking at, attending, and/or hosting. First is next month's Crane's Bond Fund Symposium, which we've written about and mentioned. Our first bond fund event will be March 23-24 in Boston, and will focus on ultra-short bond funds. We don't have anything in April, but in May we'll be speaking at the SIFMA AMA Roundtable. This event, which attracts almost 100 brokerage sweep providers, will be May 7-9 in Boca Raton, Fla. Our Peter Crane will speak on "Money Fund & FDIC Product Trends, Statistics" with Brian Ronayne of Federated Investors and Kevin Bannerton of Total Bank Solutions. Crane will also host a "Panel Discussion - Brokerage Sweep Cash Options <b:>`_," which will feature Sunil Kothapalli of Wells Fargo Advisors, Michelle Lens of BNY Mellon/Dreyfus, and Lisa North of R.W. Baird. The SIFMA AMA Roundtable involves Brokerage product and sweep professionals and is run in conjunction with the SIFMA Ops Conference. (Contact Crane Data or SIFMA's Charles DeSimone to ask about attending or to see the agenda.) Crane Data will also be exhibiting at this spring's New England AFP 2017 Annual Conference event, which is May 17-19 in Boston. The NEAFP agenda is packed with money market fund content, including speakers from RBC, Fitch, Treasury Strategies, ICD, Goldman, Fidelity and State Street. We hope to see you there!
