Crane Data is starting to make plans for its fifth annual ultra-short bond fund event, Bond Fund Symposium, which will take place in five months (March 28-29, 2022) at the Hyatt Regency Newport Beach, Calif. Crane's Bond Fund Symposium, which was cancelled in 2020 and virtual in 2021, offers a concentrated and affordable educational experience, as well as an excellent networking venue, for bond fund and fixed-income professionals. Registrations are now being accepted ($750) and sponsorship opportunities are available for our next show. (Let us know if you're interested in speaking or sponsoring.) See the preliminary agenda here and details below. Portfolio managers, analysts, investors, issuers, service providers, and anyone interested in expanding their knowledge of bond funds and fixed-income investing will benefit from our comprehensive program. A block of rooms has been reserved at the Hyatt Regency. Thanks to our past sponsors and exhibitors -- Wells Fargo Securities, T. Rowe Price, Fitch Ratings, Fidelity Investments, J.P. Morgan Asset Management, Wells Fargo Asset Management, S&P Global Ratings, DTCC, StoneX, Invesco, Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Northern Trust, Bloomberg Intelligence, Goldman Sachs, Federated, Payden & Rygel, PIMCO and Dechert -- for their support. E-mail us for more details. Crane Data is also making plans for our next live event, Money Fund University, our "basic training" conference, which will take place at the Hyatt Regency in Boston, Mass., January 20-21, 2022. Money Fund University offers a 2-day crash course on money market mutual funds, educating attendees on the history of money funds, the Fed, interest rates, ratings, rankings, and money market instruments such as commercial paper, Treasury bills, CDs and repo. We also cover portfolio construction and credit analysis. Registrations are now being taken, and the latest agenda is available here. (E-mail us to request the latest brochure.) We'll also soon be making plans for our next "big show," Money Fund Symposium, which will be held June 20-22, 2022, at the Hyatt Regency in Minneapolis. (Let us know if you'd like more details on any of our events.) Also, mark your calendars for next year's European Money Fund Symposium, which will be held Sept. 27-28, 2022, in Paris, France. Watch for details on these shows in coming weeks and months.
