NEW YORK, Nov. 14, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Information Management Network (IMN), a global organizer of institutional finance and investment conferences, today announces its strategic partnership with Ritholtz Wealth Management on the industry's longest running indexing and ETF conference, Global Indexing & ETFs.
Ritholtz Wealth Management, a New York City-based registered investment advisory firm, will provide their expertise in, and dedication to, data-driven investment strategies to expand the Global Indexing & ETFs program to include deeper and more cohesive coverage of evidence-based investing methodologies. Along with content collaboration and speaker faculty contributions, Ritholtz Wealth Management will grow the conference delegation through its substantial network of leading financial advisors and wealth managers.
"We're excited for the opportunity to partner with IMN on Global Indexing & ETFs, a conference that has firmly established itself as an essential annual gathering for the investment community for over two decades," said Barry Ritholtz, Chairman and Chief Investment Officer of Ritholtz Wealth Management. "We look forward to contributing to the program's continued success."
The announcement comes ahead of the highly anticipated inaugural Evidence-Based Investing (EBI) conference on November 15, a joint venture between Ritholtz Wealth Management and IMN which features several industry legends on the speaker faculty, including James Chanos, founder of Kynikos Associates, Bill McNabb, CEO of Vanguard and Charley Ellis, founder of Greenwich Associates.
“We could not be more pleased to be teaming up with Barry Ritholtz, Josh Brown and their entire team as together we turn the page on an exciting new chapter for Global Indexing & ETFs. Our partnership for the EBI event has led to one of the most highly anticipated events on the calendar this fall and I have every confidence the California program next June will raise the bar higher still,” said Andy Melvin, Managing Director at IMN.
The Global Indexing & ETFs program will also benefit from two newly launched industry advisory boards, comprised of leading representatives from both the asset owner and solutions provider communities.
