Guy Sears, IMA Director, Institutional, said:
“It’s important that our review into research is credible and comprehensive so we’re pleased to have secured individuals of such high calibre and wide experience. This will help ensure the work we’re doing covers all the issues and meets our objective of constantly seeking ways to improve operating practices and client outcomes.”
The IMA and the advisory panel will be holding an open discussion about research on Wednesday 24 July at Bloomberg. All interested parties are welcome to attend, including buy-side and sell-side firms, press, investors and their representatives, regulators and other trade bodies. Please register online to attend.
