Notes from CTA Expo Chicago

JLN Managed Futures attended CTA Expo Chicago on September 13. The sold-out conference brought together the buy-side, the sell-side, vendors, and platforms from all over. Hosts Bucky Isaacson and Frank Pusateri put together a well-rounded group of panelists and speakers, including NFL Hall of Fame defensive back turned private equity manager Ronnie Lott.

Speakers covered many topics of relevance to CTAs, including targeted marketing, the role of emerging managers in a portfolio, and European marketing overview (a regulatory nightmare, even compared to Dodd-Frank). Speaking of regulatory overviews, Dan Driscoll from the NFA offered a “State of the Regulatory Environment” presentation.

On April 19, 2012, the CTA Expo will be at the NYMEX building in New York. And on June 28, CTA Expo will be in London at the Mayfair Hotel.

Bucky and Frank’s roadshow is growing.

Congrats.
