Tell Media Group: September newsletter

Welcome back! I hope you have all had a nice summer and that you are up and running and ready for the fall season.

First I'm happy to inform you that a new issue of Nordic Fund Selection Journal has been published (together with our annual Nordic ETF Trends supplement). The magazine is currently making its way to institutional investors and fund selectors across the Nordic region and it's of course also available online. Our new online platform was launched during the summer, so you might have missed it. Please have a look at tellmediagroup.se and do reach out with any feedback you would like to share.

We've been informing and connecting the Nordic asset management industry since 2006 and we hope the new website makes our insights more accessible. If you register as a free member you will be able to read the latest issue of Nordic Fund Selection Journal online, access more editorial content in the News section and you will also receive invitations to Fondbar, our business networking event hosted across the Nordic region

Looking ahead, we're very much looking forward to our annual Nordic Fund Selection Forum in Copenhagen on October 8. The half day event is hosted in cooperation with Allspring Global Investments , BNP Paribas Asset Management , Capital Group and Ninety One . Institutional investors and fund selectors can sign up to the event here.

In Copenhagen we're also hosting Fondbar, our business networking event and people from across the Nordic asset management ecosystem are welcome to sign up to join us.

I'm looking forward to staying in touch,

Niklas Tell, founder & chief content officer at Tell Media Group
