Owen James adds another community to its programme of A Meeting of Minds – Asset Management. We are delighted to confirm that the inaugural Meeting will take place on Thursday 2 November at the exciting new hotel in the City, The Ned, 27 Poultry, London EC2R 8AJ.  (We are hoping you will consider this a convenient location!)

Now that the FCA has completed its Asset Management Market Review, it would seem sensible for the community to take stock of its findings.

A Meeting of Minds’ goal is to be less of a talking shop – more of an opportunity to facilitate top level strategic discussion – Owen James’ mantra continues to be to enable financial services companies to do better business.

As a starting point, therefore our ambition is simply to bring together some 30 or so director level asset managers focused on distribution and proposition.

We want to ensure that our approach is valid and will be valued. To this end, we are delighted to be working with Lansons, experienced professionals in the art of corporate communications, whose client-base is substantially asset management. 

Together we have put together a half day programme running breakfast through lunch and a closing keynote. To give you a feel for the agenda, we have produced a discussion document (see box), and a Schedule of the Day to illustrate the timeline.

The Meeting will be content rich and geared to offering you an opportunity to have your say in a relaxed and “safe” setting. The session will of course obey Chatham House Rules.

There will be a fee for participation: £595 + VAT. If you would like to join, please call Maisie Nowroz at Owen James on 01483 861334 or email maisienowroz@owenjamesgroup.com.
