In just under a month's time, leading wealth management industry figures will gather in London to debate the big issues at the WealthMatters conference - organised by the publisher of this website.

The start of October will see wealth management industry
figures gather to debate everything from the global economic outlook to the
benefits and downsides of technology at the WealthMatters
conference in London.

Held at the America Square Conference Centre, 17 Crosswall –
near the capital’s renowned Tower
of London – the 2 October
conference features a mix of panel debates and breakout sessions. Sponsors for
the event are Equipos; Finantix; Vermilion and Advanced 365; Watson
Consultancy, BRT, and MSCI, the market index business.

Previous WealthMatters
conferences – such as an event held in London
April – have drawn large audiences and been an ideal opportunity for delegates
and panellists to swap ideas, network and catch up on latest thinking about an
industry facing a range of economic and regulatory challenges. But it is also
an industry with considerable opportunities in front of it, and the conference
is designed to provide a platform in which the best ideas on how to grow can be
showcased.

Speakers include Bill O’Neill, who is head of chief
investment office wealth management research in the UK for UBS Wealth
Management; Sebastian Dovey, managing partner at Scorpio Partnership; Kevin Gardiner, managing director and chief investment officer for
Europe at Barclays’ wealth and investment management arm; Toby Nagle, head of
multi-asset investing at Threadneedle; Wendy Spires, a consultant at Bulletin,
a public relations firm for wealth and asset managers, and the former head of
research, and deputy group editor, at ClearView Financial Media (the publisher
of this website).

Other speakers include Damian Bryan, co-founder and chief
architect of Equipos, the wealth technology firm; Lisa Worley, global head of
marketing at Barclays’ wealth and investment management business; Jonathan
Wilson, of EMEA, at Cordium, the regulatory consultancy; Mark Spiers, head of wealth management at Bovill, a risk and regulatory consultancy firm; and Ian
Cornwall, director of regulation at the Association of Private Client
Investment Managers and Stockbrokers (APCIMS). Managing director and global head of new product research, Dimitris Melas, is also speaking at the event. 

As if that were not enough, noted wealth management industry
luminaries speaking and moderating some of the sessions include Bruce
Weatherill, who is chairman of ClearView as well as a non-executive director of
Weatherill Consulting, JDX, ComPeer and Fidelity Holdings; William Drake,
co-founder of Lord North Street, the private investment office; Andrew Fisher,
chief executive of Towry, the wealth management firm; Tim May, CEO of APCIMS,
and Simon New, a director at EY (formerly known as Ernst & Young).

And last but not least, other panels feature David
Stevenson, the columnist who goes under the tag of Adventure Investor; Simon
Smith, founder of ETF Strategy; Steven Goldin, managing partner of  Parala Capital and Anthony Christodoulou,
founder of WorldTrack. On a technology panel, speakers include Steve Dyson, founding
director of Investment & Wealth Management Consultants and Roy Wood,
co-founder and managing director of Advanced365.

Members of ClearView’s team of journalists will cover the
sessions – and later provide an account of what was said for the benefit of
