Which track should I select?

The regulatory document challenge
Take the manual effort out of regulatory reporting.

Explore the regulatory changes expected over the next 24 months and the building blocks you need to get right: data management, fund registrations, calculations, quality control and distribution. We break production down to show where problems arise and where manual work builds up. We then show how FE fundinfo solves these challenges today and what is coming next, including our calculation centre, AI-assisted formatted rules and dissemination confirmation.

What participants will gain:
A clear view of upcoming regulatory change, insight into the areas that cause the most errors and rework, and an understanding of how to choose a partner with the right expertise and technology.

How to win advisers and influence MPS
Win over the buyers of advice and MPS.

Join an interactive session built on the data story behind Nexus and our Distribution Intelligence proposition. Explore who is really buying, why price is king and how to rethink your proposition, how fewer salespeople can hold better conversations, and why you need to keep one eye on the regulator.

What participants will gain:
A sharper understanding of who makes the buying decision, practical ideas to reposition your proposition and a clear set of actions to take on Monday morning.
