The association of the Luxembourg Fund Industry (ALFI) will host a conference on “Giants and Gems: Do scale and brand recognition matter?” on 19 September 2017 at 14:30 at the Global Distribution Conference.
ALFI will be present on the first day of the two-day Global Distribution Conference to be held at the European Convention Centre Luxembourg later this month. The association’s panel will address questions on distribution perspective between the giants and gems in the industry, such as: Does scale matter? Does brand recognition matter? Is it easier to cut distribution deals if you are a giant in the industry? Are smaller boutiques getting a raw deal from distributors?
The debate will be moderated by Jonathan Boyd, editorial director of Open Door Media Publishing and Investment Europe, whilst the panel will consist of the CEOs Jean Keller (Quaero Capital S.A.) and Albin Rosengren (East Capital AB), global head of distribution Christophe Girondel (Nordea Asset Management), partner and international business development Fidy Ramamonjisoa (Sycomore Asset Management), and managing directors Johan Schreuder (Investec Asset Management Luxembourg S.A.) and Michel Vermeulen (Benelux Schroders).
