DALLAS, May 11, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Since its beginnings in 1995, ALM First Financial Advisors has held a reputation for providing financial institutions with topnotch advice and sound guidance based on expert knowledge and the latest analytical tools. This September, the advisory firm is hosting its annual three-day ALM First 2018 Financial Forum for both clients and non-clients, designed for financial professionals to learn from industry specialists and financial regulators.
Emily Hollis, CFA, CEO of ALM First Financial Advisors, says the Forum is an excellent opportunity to hear from experts about the current economic outlook and trends, as well as to share insights and successful approaches with colleagues at various networking opportunities.
"The Forum provides attendees the opportunity to improve their institution's performance as they gain a better understanding of innovative strategies for maximizing returns," said Hollis. "The conference is designed to fit educational needs at all levels, whether attendees are executives, professional staff, board or ALCO members, or other officials."
Details
The 2018 Financial Forum will be September 16-19, 2018, at San Diego's world-famous Hotel del Coronado. Online registration is now open, with early-bird pricing available through August 17.
To enable attendees to maximize their learning opportunities, ALM First's Financial Forum features two separate tracks: an executive track for CEOs, CFOs, controllers, treasury staff, and non-financial senior managers, and a board track for board or ALCO members and other directors.
The executive track will feature presentations on balance-sheet management in various rate environments, investment strategies for today's markets, advanced liquidity management, and applications of hedging strategies.
