THRIVING IN AN EVER-CHANGING INDUSTRY

conf banner recap

 

Our conference theme for 2019, "Thriving in an Ever-Changing Industry," was well-received by this year's attendees. We were privileged to have 74 individuals in attendance at the Dupont Circle Hotel, Washington DC on April 29 and 30. More than 30 fund companies were represented. The topics were spot on for boutique mutual funds, with the favorites being Warren Miller's research insights into how to compete with the "big guys" and the Case Studies and Growth Strategies panels presented by fund executives.
