The introduction of new global regulatory measures, the prospects for emerging markets and the post-financial landscape are key themes at the ALFI Global Distribution conference in Luxembourg. Several sessions during the two-day conference will deal with the impact of AIFMD, FATCA and Dodd-Frank on asset management operations, and delegates will also get the chance to hear the views of regulators. Emerging markets remain a hot topic and there will be a debate on the role of Asia and the potential there for UCITS funds, while a panel debate will tackle how developed markets can adapt to the fluctuating investment landscape.
