NEW YORK, Oct. 15, 2007 — Information Management Network (IMN), a division of Euromoney/Institutional Investor, is proud to announce its 12th Annual Super Bowl of Indexing(R) (http://www.imn.org/etm986/pr), December 2nd-5th in Scottsdale, Arizona. Known as the world’s largest and most comprehensive program covering indexing and quantitative investment products and strategies, this invitation-only event attracts over 600 attendees annually. The expert speaker faculty, the industry-specialized concurrent sessions, and the third annual William F. Sharpe Indexing Achievement Awards are all powerful draws to this year’s conference.
"Despite having a run of eleven outstanding programs, this year’s 12th is definitely the best yet," says Al Neubert, Director, Business Development. "The breadth and depth of subject and the world’s leading academics in the field of indexing make this year’s event Super Bowl University."
Agenda highlights include:
-- "Deja vu" debate between Burton Malkiel and Jeremy Siegel on fundamental indexing vs. traditional capitalization-weighted indexing. -- Keynote Presentation: "The Strategic and Tactical Value of Commodity Indexing" by Campbell R. Harvey, J. Paul Sticht Professor of International Business, Duke University. -- Special presentation titled "A Challenge to Judgement Revisited," given by Paul A. Samuelson, Professor of Economics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Noble Laureate.
