ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

Investment funds, which are created on the basis of a pool of assets and then sold to investors as shares (or units) of the fund, are a major investment instrument in Europe (with a volume of 200 billion Euros in Germany alone). In Russia, legislation that provides for similar investment instruments, is still in the stage of development.

Recently, a number of Russian financial institutions (banks, brokerages, investment banks) have been establishing Investment Funds specifically to meet the investment needs of their private Russian clients. This indicates that the market in investment funds looks as if it is beginning to grow. Given the very limited variety of domestic investment vehicles available to the Russian investor, combined with the low yields and increased risks of investing abroad, it is possible that the investment fund market in Russia could expand very rapidly.

A factor of concern to investors in all markets is the quality of the assets held within the funds. Assessing asset quality is the specialization of Scope Rating Agency, which has agreed to discuss its unique approach within the German market.

A number of conferences have been held in Moscow on Closed Investment Funds, but they have typically focused on the legal and tax advantages for the organizers of the funds.

The attractiveness of investment funds for INVESTORS is the focus of this conference. Consequently, it will be of interest to buy-side analysts as well as sell-side organizers wanting to profile the instruments they have created.
