Financial Planners and investment specialists are making their way to London for the sixth annual Morningstar Investment conference.

The two-day conference supported by the IFP will take place at the Park Plaza Riverbank Hotel on 15-16 May.

The event is held in association with the Institute of Financial Planning and staff from the body will be in attendance at the event, which is credited for CPD.

Last year’s event drew over 400 delegates including Financial Planners, fund managers, economists and investment specialists.

This year’s speakers include Matthew Dobbs, fund manager at Schroders, Nigel Bolton, fund manager at Blackrock, Chris Taylor, investment director at Neptune and Phil Milburn, investment manager at Kames Capital.

There will also be panel debates with panelists including Nick Cann, chief executive of the Institute of Financial Planning, John Chatfeild-Roberts from Jupiter Asset Management and Iain Stewart from BNY Mellon.

As well as speakers, there will be an exhibition featuring leading firms such as M&G, Threadneedle, HSBC and Blackrock.

Financial Planner will be covering the event on both days with reports on our website and live tweets on the @FPM_Online Twitter feed.

Morningstar also has its own conference-dedicated mobile phone app which allows delegates to take part in polls, pose questions to speakers and view relevant videos and articles.

The app, suitable for Apple, Android, Blackberry and Windows Mobile devices, is available to download at www.micuk12.co.uk
