This is the premier gathering of the year and attendance is restricted to what we refer to as “the Senior Delegate”. The Senior Delegate is the person at the member firm who has overall responsibility for their firm’s fixed income effort and represents the firm on the membership list and in the membership directory. The Annual is a 2-day meeting which focuses on issues and challenges facing those who run the fixed income business at their firms. It deals with topics like compensation, profitability, relevance to the overall business, relationships with the Street, operational benchmarking, team structure and best managerial practices. While the programs themselves are extremely interesting and informative, the conversations between members throughout the meeting are equally important, as they provide rare insight and intelligence on any number of issues related to the fixed income buyside from practitioner to practitioner.
