FinServ hosts these roundtable events semi-annually and each event is uniquely crafted for that event’s audience in the context of the current business and regulatory environment. The roundtable is an invitation only event and using our deep connections to the Alternative Asset Management industry, we selectively craft an invite list that brings together C-level executives from a balanced mixture of fund sizes and fund types. This approach allows the attendees to gain valuable and tangible insights from their peers on an industry level.

As the host with the subject matter and industry expertise, FinServ creates the event’s agenda with topics that are targeted for that event’s audience such as Chief Financial Officers (CFO) or Chief Technology Officers (CTO). Our unique position in having served a wide swath of the alternative asset management industry in combination with the extensive research done on the topics allows FinServ to offer deep research, analysis and material on each topic. Cross conversations amongst the audience are facilitated to add further insights and knowledge that is brought to light only at these types of focused events.

FinServ has previously hosted successful roundtables for CTO’s, CFO’s and Investor Relations executives. These roundtables have proven invaluable to the attendees for the variety of issues discussed, the depth of the issues covered and the opportunity to network with their peers. Furthermore, these roundtable events have been cited by past attendees as amongst the best they have attended and even surpassing similar roundtable events hosted by the largest financial institutions in the world.

Our last CFO roundtable focused on the topic of regulatory reporting. In particular, the discussion drilled into two topics within the current regulatory landscape.

1. Outsourcing of regulatory reporting – FinServ provided their analysis of the regulatory reporting service offering from each of the major Third Party Administrators (TPA) and shared the various outsourcing strategies our clients had employed to enhance compliance while keeping costs at a minimum.
2. Impact of Basel III requirements on funds’ relationships with their prime brokers (PB) and custodians – FinServ provided our analysis on whether funds should consider consolidating their existing PB relationships based on the pending Basel III changes.

The Investor Relations roundtable focused on how the Investor Relations function can be enhanced using Customer Relationship Management (CRM) technology and Third Party Administrator (TPA) services.
