This live video Webinar presentation will focus on trends involving buy side trading across multiple asset classes in a global marketplace. On 9/7/07, we will begin to analyze, among other matters, how traders and middle and back office professionals at asset management firms work with various independent vendors to calibrate the best information being received from the largest dealers in structured securities and derivatives. The objective will be to invite our Webinar audience members to judge for themselves just how effective this kind of information can become in order to help enhance liquidity for less liquid products. All of the leading types of valuation products that are available to asset managers will be discussed at this event.
