| What we deliver |
|
 |
Fund Pro Seminars are designed to bring global asset management companies and service providers closer to potential clients in Latin America. Since 2003, when we held our first annual Seminar on Asset Management in Mexico, we have been helping international firms raise their profile among the local institutional investor community. Sponsors of our events have a range of opportunities to introduce their products, brands and executives to the local market, or reinforce their current efforts in the region. |

| Expert organization |
|
 |
Fund Pro events are put together by the same team, year after year. This provides comfort to sponsors that have accompanied us over the years, as well as new sponsors making their debut in the region. Venues are strategically chosen to provide easy access for local professionals, who often find it difficult to escape from their busy work days to attend outside seminars. |

Compelling program design and expert

|
As journalists covering Latin America, we are on top of the issues that are causing the most discussion in a particular country. Our close relationship with regulators and local industry associations assures us of the presence of knowledgeable local panelists, who are asked to tailor their presentations to specific, timely topics. Roundtable discussions are moderated by Thomas Ciampi, director of Fund Pro and Latin Asset Management. |

| Targeted attendee lists |
|
 |
As a general policy, only local Latin-American-based professionals receive complimentary invitations to Fund Pro Seminars. This assures our sponsors of a good turnout at all of our events, with companies sending several executives to participate. Our hand-picked invitation lists as a rule focus on institutional buyers, gatekeepers, advisories, and Central Banks and regulators. We believe our approach compares favorably to that of professional “Conference Companies” that charge attendees up to $2,500 to participate, as this places a huge entry barrier for many firms.
