Mazy Dar Of Creditex Will Give Status of CDS Central Counterparty At March 20th AMG Event

AMG is pleased to announce that Mazy Dar, Chief Strategy Officer at Creditex, will discuss the present status of the ICE central counterparty service at a Lunch and Learn event on Friday, March 20th. This event will be held at SIFMA's NYC offices located at 360 Madison Avenue, 17th floor, from 11:45 a.m. to 1:45 p.m. At this event, Mr. Dar will be joining fellow speakers Arthur Leiz, GSAM; Chip Stevens, Barclays Global Investors; Cory Strupp, SIFMA; Marshall Terry, Brevan Howard; and James Wallin, AllianceBernstein.

We are also pleased to announce that the Managed Funds Association is the co-sponsor of this Lunch & Learn, which is designed to address, among other matters, industry-wide issues that apply to buy-side participation in central counterparty facilities in the CDS market.

This 3/20 event will review the basic framework of CCPs, discuss the benefits of a clearinghouse environment in the OTC derivative markets, describe why asset managers and hedge funds intend to segregate customers' collateral when dealing with a CCP, and offer insights regarding legislative and regulatory developments that might affect the structure of CCPs.

This educational event will also feature audience Q & A. In addition, the panel will provide the insights of industry practitioners and will rationalize CCPs from the standpoint of how a clearinghouse environment in the credit default swaps marketplace will affect the global investment and business strategies of hedge fund and asset management professionals.

There is still time to register for this event. Please Click here to register.
