The TLS comprises a unique three-stage process – from extensive research, to an intensive one-day think tank and reception, to the subsequent publication of the incisive TLS report.

The diagram below shows the timeframe and tasks completed at the three stages.

TLS commissions research three months before the one-day Think Tank; this research aims to identify what key players in Asset Management see as the most important issues facing the industry. The research topic is set by the Industry through strategic dialogues with key players which take place before the Summit. Our expert analysts will then use the results to develop “Thought Starters” – ideas that form the basis for the TLS debate.

Duration – 3 months prior to the workshop
 

A one day think tank is then staged allowing dialogue to take place between leading decision-makers, our “Thought Leaders”, from all sectors of industry, across Europe and overseas.

After the Think Tank, Industry experts analyse the results of the Summit, and publish them in a unique White Paper. Featuring commentary, insight, analysis and interviews, the White Paper is distributed to participants and circulated to the wider Asset Management industry two months after the Summit itself.

Duration – 2 months after the Think Tank
