SMA Financial urges users to select a Network partner for the migration of CREST to the Euroclear Single Platform (CCI)

•   Free event offers opportunity to understand the value of acting now
 
LONDON, 11th September, 2008 – SMA Financial (www.sma.co.uk), SWIFT Regional partner for UK, Eire and Channel Islands today announced interest in their event, “CREST: The Euroclear Single Platform, the risks and rewards for opening the door to the UK Market” scheduled for Wednesday 24th September, 2008 is gaining momentum.

“There is a real concern that the selection of a Network provider left too late, will limit the flexibility that CREST users will have as the domestic UK market is opened up to European participants.  We are keen that members of the UK domestic market are ready to not only protect their existing market but also have the ability to expand their business outside of the UK once the European playing field is opened up.”

SMA has brought together a first class line up of industry experts and technology leaders who will offer their views and recommendations for successful Network partner selection and smooth implementation of the Euroclear Single Platform (CCI).
Speakers include  Andy Thompson, APCIMS, Chris Webb, Equiniti, Tim Archer, Redmayne-Bentley, and Peter Loadman, Investmaster whilst on the technical panel companies represented include Peter Evans, Rhyme Systems, SWIFT and Safe Financials.

The event commences at 9.00 am, finishes at 12 noon and will be followed by a light lunch.  The venue is 6th floor, The Corn Exchange, 55 Mark Lane, London EC2R 7NE To register your attendance or for further information, please email [email protected].
