2018 Investment Management Research Conference Now in its 12th year, the annual IMR Conference presents investment management research. It has a focus on issues related to the flow of investment funds along the continuum from savers to the ultimate investment outcomes, and particularly regarding funds management (across all asset classes); wealth management (particularly investment and superannuation); and banking (particularly financial intermediation and regulation). Previously the UTS Paul Woolley Centre annual conference, the IMR Conference is now a Portfolio Construction Forum initiative that brings together the full spectrum of investment management analysts - academic faculty from leading university business schools, public sector members, central bankers, professional investors, consultants and experienced practitioners and advocates. The IMR Conference advances investment management research, and enables practitioners to better identify quality investment management solutions and their place in portfolios. We'd welcome you joining us!

INTRODUCTION Now in its 12th year, the annual IMR Conference presents investment management research to an academic, public sector, central bank, regulator and financial services audience.
It has a
focus on issues related to the flow of investment funds along
the continuum from savers to the ultimate investment outcomes,
and particularly regarding: Previously the UTS Paul Woolley Centre annual conference, the IMR Conference is now a Portfolio Construction Forum initiative that brings together the full spectrum of investment management analysts - academic faculty from leading university business schools, public sector members, central bankers, professional investors, consultants and experienced practitioners and advocates. The aim is to advance investment management research, and enable practitioners to better identify quality investment management solutions and their place in portfolios. The IMR Conference is a companion program to the half-day IMR Workshop each March. THIS YEAR'S THEME Is a better functioning financial services industry around the corner? The antecedent to the IMR Program, the Paul Woolley Centre, was established with the hope of bringing attention to the failure of the financial services industry worldwide to live up to its obligations of servicing us in an effective and respectful way. We do not want to claim any credit for the recent establishment of the Royal Commission into Misconduct in the Banking, Superannuation and Financial Services Industry - but we welcome it in the hope that it will result in better functioning capital markets from which we all will benefit. The focus of IMR Conference 2018 is on the obligations and behaviour of financial intermediaries and what needs to be done to obtain improved outcomes in this area. This year's keynote speaker, Professor Anat Admati, PhD, Stanford University, is a long-term activist in the policy debate on financial regulation. She is co-author of the book, The Banker’s New Clothes: What’s Wrong with Banking and What to Do About It. She has been named by Time Magazine as one of the 100 most influential people in the world and by Foreign Policy Magazine as one of the world’s 100 greatest thinkers.
Professor
Admati is supported by leading local thought leaders in the
areas of: In addition, 2018 will see the return of our popular debate. This year, it will address the (somewhat pessimistic) topic - Honesty, fairness and justice are incompatible with financial services. The rest of the IMR Conference will follow the popular format of bringing together leading speakers from both academia and the private sector. We are happy to have speakers from four of the leading central banks - the IMF, the Federal Reserve, the RBA and the RBNZ. From the responses of a worldwide call for papers, we have been able to put together a session consisting of six excellent academic speakers chosen because of the relevance of their work to the financial services industry. Finally, 2018 will see the continuance of the very popular session introduced in 2017, where financial services professionals put forward important investment propositions for debate by a panel of academics and investment consultants - and the delegate audience.
