A conference on Jersey’s investment funds industry is to be staged on the island in November.

Chairing the proceedings will be Geoff Cook, the CEO of Jersey Finance.
Other speakers include Robert Kirkby, Technical Director of Jersey Finance;
Tim Morgan, Managing Associate of Ogier; Antony Gardner-Hillman, an independent non-executive director; David Banks, Director of Securities at the JFSC; Wendy Dorman, Associate Partner at Deloitte; Nigel Weston, a Partner at Mourant du Feu and Jeune and Tamara Menteshvili, CEO of the Channel Islands Stock Exchange.
