Mifid II and the consequences for company coverage - Parallel session A
Panelists; ; Johan Ståhl (Lannebo), Pernilla Grennfelt (Gränges), Christer Linde (ABG), Nicklas Fhärm (SEB).
Moderator: Stefan Olsson
The new Mifid II requirements for the investment management industry, is one of the EU’s most ambitious packages of financial reforms. Included in the reforms is a dramatically changed investment research model, requiring fund managers to budget separately for research and trading costs payable to brokers. Managers will need to split out the cost of research, which is used to help make investment decisions, from the cost of buying and selling securities. The cost may in the end be transferred from fund managers to companies themselves, as analyst houses are trying to find new income streams for their research. What will this mean for company coverage and IRO’s efforts to increase the visibility of their company? Will commissioned reports rise and the view on commissioned reports change? And what will Mifid II and the transfer of costs mean for IRO’s access to consensus estimates while trying to manage market expectations? This and much more will be discussed at the panel, which will be moderated by Stefan Olsson, former equities analyst at Swedbank and currently at Hallvarsson & Halvarsson. (svenska)
Leadership in an era of change and uncertainty - Parallel session A
Paneldeltagare: Tidigare statssekreterare i finansdepartementet - Sten Olsson (S) och Hans Lindberg (M)
Moderatorer: Ulrica Schenström och Dan Svanell
Hur kommer det som nu sker i USA, Storbritannien, Ryssland, Mellanöstern och övriga världen att påverka valet i Sverige den 9 september? Snabb digital information och desinformation omkullkastar världspolitikens funktionssätt som vi känner den. Hur skapas policy i en värld där en tweet från Donald Trump får lika stor betydelse som årsrapporten från norska oljefonden eller en svensk statlig utredning om kommande lagstiftning för bankerna? Vilka effekter får det på våra nordiska länders ekonomi och möjligheter till reformer?
Två tidigare statssekreterare i finansdepartementet - Sten Olsson (S) och Hans Lindberg (M) - som, bägge varit budgetansvariga dels i regeringen Persson dels i regeringen Reinfeldt, resonerar kring dessa frågeställningar. (svenska)

Who will back tomorrow's sustainable business?
Panelists: Magnus Billing (Alecta), Anna Ryott (Norrsken Foundation), Henrik Sundström (Electrolux), Hanna Brogren (Sveriges Kommunikatörer), Åse Bäckström ( H&H).
Moderator: Thomas Frostberg (DN)
Much has been achieved since the United Nations’ 2030 agenda for sustainable development “called upon all businesses to apply their creativity and innovation to solving sustainable development challenges” in 2015. At the same time the UN’s latest progress report finds that “the pace of progress must accelerate to achieve the SDGs.”The financial sector bears a crucial role in the transformation towards a more sustainable business and earlier this year the European Commission’s High-Level Expert Group on Sustainable Finance (HLEG) presented an extensive set of recommendations for ways in which legislation can support the development of a sustainable finance market. Who are the financial actors that successfully back tomorrow’s sustainable business and what must be done so that others follow suit? What are examples of concrete measures that can be taken and how do we implement and communicate them? These and other issues will be discussed by our panel, which will be moderated by Thomas Frostberg. (svenska)
Transactions: How to make regulative information communicative
Panelists: Ann Grevelius (Opti), Charlotte Stjerngren and Joakim Strid.
Moderator: Helena Nordman-Knutson (Head of transaction communications at H&H)
We believe that communication does make a difference, when addressing all your stakeholders in a transaction process. Transparent and correct communication is an essential element in all transactions, but you need to add a bit of flavour to make the numbers fly. Good communication adds, among many other things, great value and builds trust and helps you set the expectations right. On this issue we have invited a distinguished panel representing the media angle, sell side angle, investor angle and regulative angle. (Svenska)
The Stock Exchange's view on financial communication in the light of new European regulations
Speaker: Lauri Rosendahl, CEO of Nasdaq Nordic.
Lauri Rosendahl on how the importance of financial communication increases as new regulations changes the conditions for listed companies. As the new MAR Regulations from 2016 place higher demands on listed companies' disclosure, the MiFID II regulatory requirements for independent analysis have, too, made it more difficult for smaller listed companies to reach out. How does the stock exchange interpret this development, and how can the company's IR maximize visibility while ensuring that the information follows the rules? Lauri will present his discuss the issue as well as comment on the latest happenings on the stock exchange. (English)
Keynote: Navigating tomorrow’s economy
Keynote speaker: Philippa "Pippa" Malmgren, former economic adviser to US President George W. Bush and Barack Obama.
Dr. Pippa Malmgren, ranked by, amongst others, the Economist as one of the world’s most influential geopolitical thinkers, runs through the changing geopolitical balance with the explosion of new technologies as a base. What drives global change? And how can we learn to understand it?
How does the emerging hub for IT outsourcing in Lagos passing Bangalore in size affect us? What role does the economic rise of Mexico play geopolitically, and how will the ever-growing influence of China impact the political landscape? How will Putin’s statement that “AI is the new frontier of international politics” affect the Nordic region? And, how will China’s possible implementation of a Social Credit score affect 1 billion people and their contacts?
Known to swim against the current, Dr Malmgren also predicts an extraordinary growth in the capital markets the coming years and draws parallels to the very beginning of the first industrial revolution.
