Barring
any form of change in plans, activities are already in top gear by the
governing council of the IAPM to host its 2018 members forum at the Oriental
Hotel, Lekki Lagos come Wednesday the 14th of November, 2018.
This
year's forum, which is a two-in-one event (2-1) is billed to update all
stakeholders in the Nigerian investment management industry about the key
reforms in the association, indicative of its consistent evolution of roles and
responsibilities in aligning with the ever dynamic global investment management
industry.
Part
of this significant change falling under the auspices of market regulation will
also be formally introduced as a major and veritable market-wide framework for
the protection of investors.
This
event, themed 'THE FUTURE OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY' going by its level of
significance amongst the components of real market development initiatives
currently overseen by the regulatory authorities will be having the Ag.
Director General of the Securities & Exchange Commission, Ms. Mary Uduk
as the Special Guest of Honour, with the Lead Speaker
being Mr. Mobolaji Balogun of the ChapelHill Denham group.
In
an initial statement released by the office of the association's president Prince
Abimbola Olashore, other confirmed guests and speakers for the day include
President of the Council of the NSE, Mr. Abimbola Ogunbanjo, the DG, Mr.
Oscar Onyema, Mr. Bola Ajomale of the NASD, Mr. Bola Onadele
(Koko) of the FMDQ OTC Plc, Mr. Banji Fehintola, President of the CFA
Society Nigeria, Dr. Ore Sofekun, MD/CEO Investment One VC, Mr.
Abubakar Jimoh, MD/CEO Coronation Merchant Bank, Mr. Adedapo Adekoje,
President CIS and a host of other dignitaries.
The
IAPM was formed by very prominent Nigerians in the finance industry some 37
years ago to champion the cause of investor protection through capacity
building and advocacy at the highest policy levels of governance around
investment matters in the country, especially pension funds and contributors
welfare.
It
is noteworthy to mention that these objectives have remained steadfast through
the years albeit in the face of challenging global dynamics requiring equal and
where apposite, greater focus and direction changes for the body. In this
latest development, the IAPM is taking on the much greater and crucial role of
a global standard curriculum administrator for the building of professional
capacity particularly in the investment advisory practice in Nigeria as a means
to meeting one of the most fundamental requirements of our local market
development initiatives.
More
information about this forthcoming 2-in-1 event is however expected to be
shared with the public at a press conference scheduled to hold on
Tuesday November 6th 2018 at the offices of the Emerging Africa Capital Group,
Ikoyi Lagos.
