For over 14 years the Melbourne Financial Services Symposium (MFSS) has brought together local and international thought leaders and well respected industry experts, to identify the critical issues impacting the growth and development of the funds management and superannuation industry.

The 2012 MFSS focuses on opportunities for investors and funds managers prompting the topic “Global Investing – strategic business innovation for sustainable growth”.

The program commencing at 12.30pm hosts 10  industry speakers who will address a variety of issues facing the financial services industry and concludes with a keynote address by John Fraser, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, UBS Global Asset Management and Chairman of VFMC at the Gala Dinner at 8.30pm.

Delivered in one day and complimented with the annual Gala Dinner which celebrates excellence in the form of the MFSS Awards – Victorian Innovation in Funds Management Award and the VFMC Stewardship Award , recognising exceptional standards in each category.  As a highlight in the Melbourne funds management and superannuation calendar – this annual event is a must attend.

The MFSS acknowledges its sponsors past and present for their commitment to the industry and support – Victorian Government, Victorian Funds Management Corporation, Austrade, Northern Trust, Franklin Templeton, City of Melbourne, Treasury Corporation of Victoria and the EPA.
