Recent attempts to improve transparency and reduce potential conflicts of interest within mutual funds, stock exchanges and commercial and investment banks will radically affect how these institutions’ operations will be structured and governed and how services will be provided. While the reasons for many of these changes are widely known, the consequences for the conduct of business, accounting and disclosure, the provision of investment advice and compensation for services provided are less well understood. This conference will delve into these issues and explore their implications for markets, investors and institutions.
