Established in 1996, Financial Technology Forum (FTF) is the premier network for technology leaders from major investment management firms, serving as a “think tank” for members to interact and develop their professional skills.
Annual Meetings
Membership includes three core events: Senior Delegate Roundtable, Fall and Winter, as well as impromptu, topic-driven events including regional meetings. All events are interactive, and driven by the members’ current needs and interests.
FTF offers remote electronic participation in our Membership Meetings to those who cannot attend in person, and all plenary sessions are recorded and posted to FTF’s members-only website.
Proprietary Research
Membership includes access to our exclusive research, including the following reports:
- Benchmark Survey – detailed study of IT spending, headcount and compensation expense among FTF member firms
- Technology Inventory – a compilation of the latest software systems (e.g. Portfolio Accounting, Trade Order Management, etc.) that members use
- IT Compensation Survey – covering more than 25 job titles, survey results are categorized by AUM, staff size, region and hedge fund status
- FTFQs – results of frequent member-generated, web-based polls are distributed via e-mail and posted to our members-only website
Webcasts
Online meetings feature analysts and members discussing topics of the moment and various technology systems utilized within the industry. Recordings of the webcasts are posted to our members-only website.
