  MESSAGE FROM CO-CHAIRS  
               
    Dear AMCHAM members,

We are delighted to invite you to the breakfast meeting of the AMCHAM Capital Markets & Financial Services Committee which will take place on June 2nd, 2016 between 8:00 AM and 9:30 AM. Our guest speaker will be Mr. Alistair Smith, CFA ? Client Service Director at Baillie Gifford Overseas Limited. These days, many funds and market participants seem to have become all consumed with reducing equity volatility under the guise of “risk management”. What lies behind the obsession with ensuring short term smoothness at almost any cost? Overbearing regulation, short term peer awareness and misaligned incentives all play a part but hobbling equities in this way will badly stifle long term returns. This talk will explore the costs and dangers of trying to eliminate volatility from equity portfolios, consider why many conventional risk measurement metrics are dangerously flawed and explain why equity volatility should not just be tolerated, but actively enjoyed.

We hope to see many of you in attendance on June 2nd, 2016.
