CFA Institute's Financial Regulatory Symposium was a great success

The Financial Regulatory Symposium was held 29-30th June, and was organized by CFA Institute. The event offered discussions around the major policy and regulatory developments that affect the global finance and investment industry right now. Business conduct and professionalism, which together constitute the cornerstone of the mission of CFA Institute, were key ingredients in this seminar with terrific expert speaking from all over the world.
