Events galore!

The Event season is well and truly charging ahead. 

GSL Nordic Securities Lending Summit

Last week GSL hosted the Nordic Securities Lending Summit in Stockholm.  A great event and the videos of the event are being added to the GSL website even as we speak.  You can click here to see the videos.  Well over a hundred attendees including a substantial number of Beneficial Owners and Hedge Funds!

Securities Lending Yearbook Launch

I am looking forward to the Securities Lending Yearbook Exclusive Launch Thursday night.  Deloitte has partnered with Data Explorers to produce the book and it should be an good evening.  I don't know if there are places left, but f you are interested in attending I suggest you contact Ali Kazimi or Janice Pritchard.  Thanks for the invitation Ali!

IMN Beneficial Owners Summit

I am heading to San Diego this weekend for the 16th Annual IMN conference.  Maybe I won't go, after all I'd rather be here in the rain anyway.

FinTuition Courses

February is always a heavy month for our courses and this year we have several courses scheduled.  On Feb  16th we host Understanding Basel II - a practical course designed from an operational point of view and providing an overview of the risk calculations.  The 18th and 19th sees our trainers tackle the challenging subject  of Understanding Hedge Funds in the Post Madoff Era.  Wednesday 24th I am teaching our newest course - International Securities Lending - a one day seminar that looks at the fundamentals of the securities lending business.  It is geared towards those institutions and people that want to learn more about securities lending in a friendly and impartial environment.  The 25th and 26th moves to the more complex Equity Finance and Structured Products course where we include an examination of alternative structures.  Whew!  What a month!

GSL London Summit - All Aboard!

On Thursday 25th we run the second GSL Summit of the year in London.  I'm expecting great things from this and I am putting together some exciting panels even as we speak.  Stay tuned for more.

Other than that, things are quiet.  How are you?
