The Waters Weekly Wrap: September 14-18
Each Friday, Waters editors and journalists pull together a quick-hit series of the best analysis pieces, features, and video interviews from across the five brands-just in case you missed them.

This week's major themes ranged from liability-driven investment on the buy side to a greater sense of direction around Symphony's fully-unleased messaging platform on the sell side. Meanwhile the data brands hosted another successful edition of the European Financial Information Summit.
Up next, Buy-Side Technology North America is right around the corner. Be sure to take a look at this year's agenda, which is chock full of senior tech executives from the country's largest investment managers and institutions. If you haven't registered yet, there's still time.
There are also only a few days remaining to enter the Buy-Side Technology Awards (guidelines and details for entry here). The event, held this year at Le Meridien Piccadilly in central London, always attracts incredible entries from great companies, both big and small, serving investment managers globally. We look forward to reading yours.
Have a great weekend!
