The conference, entitled ‘Beyond Boundaries’, will explore key issues shaping the funds sector, including the increasingly global outlook of fund managers, shifts in regulation and distribution, and the rise of the alternatives sector.
Meanwhile, leading political broadcaster Andrew Marr and celebrated sports journalist, award-winning author and performance expert Matthew Syed will give keynote speeches at the Jersey Finance Annual Private Wealth Conference, at 8 Northumberland Avenue on 26 September.
Andrew Marr is a key player on the political correspondence scene. The host of The Andrew Marr Show, the agenda-setting Sunday breakfast magazine, Andrew spent five years as a political editor and has also fronted landmark series on history, politics and society.
Finally, England’s top table tennis player for ten years, Matthew is also a leading author and expert on creating cultures of high performance in high-pressure environments.

The conference, entitled ‘Building Better Futures’, will examine how wealth management professionals can better support clients through political and economic uncertainty, while regulation, technology and ethical investing will all also fall under the spotlight.
Commenting on the upcoming conferences, Joe Moynihan, CEO of Jersey Finance, said:
“Engaging with our key London audience on issues that really resonate with them is absolutely vital and with our series of high-profile speakers across both of our flagship events in London this year, I’m convinced we will achieve that and provoke some interesting, positive debate. We expect both events to be hugely popular among the London finance and legal communities.”
Further details about this year’s conferences will be announced in due course, with registration available at www.jerseyfinance.je/events.
