We’re fast approaching the OTC Derivatives deadline. As you know, November 14th is after ESMA’s update and during the European Commission’s assessment.  In Patrick Pearson’s words it’s ‘perfect timing’ to hear ESMA’s recommendations and what the European Commission are doing about them.

So if you’re involved with just one OTC event, make it this one.

You said you wanted one day out of the office, so we’re giving you an efficient, stream-lined programme, with two in-depth optional workshops for those keen to do a bit of training.

Two streams, one day, one forum.

Looking at the whole front-back solution, you can choose whether you focus on trading or operations by attending one of our streams in an action-packed one day experience:

• Q&A with the heavy hitters in the industry (European Commission, EMIR, ESMA, FSA, ECB…)
• Practical case studies from those who have done the ground work for OTC clearing
• Focused sessions on managing your counter-party risk, and collateral management
• Two streams for you to mix-and match your sessions and build your own programme

Why this event?

Timing – we will have clarity on the regulations
Held after ESMA’s recommendations on the 29th of September, and before the European Commission have given their views, finally we have clarity regarding the regulations, and the opportunity to have meaningful discussions about their ramifications.

Content – built by you to ensure relevant people and topics
Who better to craft the program than Derivatives; Trading; Operational and Risk buy-side experts? Because you created the program, OTC Derivatives for Fund Management delivers an insider’s perspective and a truly neutral platform. If you want to build relationships with custodians, brokers and CCPs, we’ve got them. If you want to benchmark yourself against the industry, we’ve talked to companies at every point along the way.

A compact, flexible program – two streams, one day
We know that your time is a precious commodity and taking 2 or 3 days out of the office often just isn’t an option. That’s why we’ve packed everything into one concentrated day, and have given you the option to book additional workshops for training on LEIs and Pricing & Valuation. Don’t spend any more time away from your desk than needed.

Unrivalled networking opportunities
This is a truly European event. We’ve invited people from all over Europe to give you that broader perspective and the opportunity to build more connections than ever.
