The Waters Weekly Wrap: August 31-September 4
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.

It's finally September!
Soon enough leaves will be failling; football (the American kind) returns; and everything will taste like pumpkin. But for now we hold onto summer for one more weekend as the US celebrates Labor Day, and Waters has a new set of features for you to nosh on in the meantime.
September also means Buy-Side Technology North America will be here before we know it.
For those pondering attendance or who might even wish to join one of the panels, be sure to take a look at this year's agenda, which is already chock full of senior tech executives from the country's largest investment managers and institutions.
There is also one week remaining to enter the Buy-Side Technology Awards (guidelines and details for entry here). Every year this event, held in London, attracts incredible entries from great companies, big and small, serving investment managers globally. We look forward to reading yours.
Have a great weekend!
