Traders put the fizz into great City A.M. event
THE mood was sparkling last night at the champagne reception rounding off Active Trader 2012 – City A.M.’s first trading and investment conference. The one-day event saw 700 delegates fill the rooms at the Grange Hotel Tower Bridge to hear from a unique slate of speakers. City gurus Gary Baker of Bank of America Merrill Lynch and Tim Guinness of Guinness Asset Management rubbed shoulders with speakers from the US and further afield. City A.M.’s editor Allister Heath and star investor Richard Farleigh opened the day, with Lex van Dam, host of the BBC’s Million Dollar Traders, beginning the afternoon session. The event was sponsored by IG Index, with FXCM sponsoring the evening reception.
