The 15th Annual Summit's principal goal is to present timely securities lending issues faced by the Beneficial Owner, presented by the Beneficial Owner. Whether a new entrant in this market or an old professional, the huge amount of turmoil in the financial markets has greatly impacted lending - making this event even more of a must attend then in prior years. Some of the new areas this year's conference will focus on will include:
* Stop Lending: Why Some Programmes Did It
* Do Lending Returns Compensate for Risk in Today’s Environment?
* The Buck has Broken: The Future of Cash Collateral Investment
* Early Termination Operational Issues
* A Walk Through the Buy-In Process
* Risk Management During the Credit Crunch
* Taking in Treasuries and Repo as Collateral
* What does Bankruptcy/Receivership Mean?
* The Moral Dilemma of Securities Lending
Today's volatile markets have also greatly increased the need for Beneficial Owners to meet in a small group, private settings to discuss today's volatile markets and the impact on your programmes. This year the 101 session will be hosted as a closed-door session, limited to 20 attendees, to insure the educational needs of the new and returning beneficial owners are met. We will also have our usual Tuesday Morning Beneficial Owner Breakfast, but we will have one session, focusing on key issues for the asset management community, while the second will be constructed for the pension community. IMN will also add a Monday closed door workshop, the topic to be announced.
