Established in 1996, Financial Technology Forum (FTF) is the premier network for technology leaders from major investment management firms, serving as a “think tank” for members to interact and develop their professional skills.
FTF members come together three times a year for plenary sessions, breakout discussions and collaborative workshops that provide members with an in-depth and comprehensive review of the most important issues in financial technology and management. In addition, FTF oversees monthly polling, maintains a password-protected website, hosts member-driven webcasts and conducts a comprehensive benchmark survey each year to allow members to measure practices against their peers.
