Barbarians at the gates: Assessing the impact of
foreign IPO's and sovereign investors in the UK and USA

A one day conference on Friday 27th June 2008

at Cass Business School, London    

Detail: 

This Conference will be the first forum that focuses on corporate governance and strategy aspects of foreign entities entering the stock markets in developed countries. Bearing in mind a unique combination of academic and practical issues associated with the impact of foreign IPOs and investors on the global economy, our target audience will include academics, investors, IPO advisors and the Government.

In addition, the CRCG has invited a number of distinguished academics and the investor community practitioners to give presentations on the impact of foreign private equity firms and sovereign wealth funds on the stock-markets and corporate sectors in the UK, US and other developed countries.
