Lipper, through a partnership with industry public relations and marketing consulting firm SunStar, will offer the SunStar Lipper Leaders Press Briefings on Wednesday, December 3, in New York City. For the convenience of reporters, we will offer two briefings, one from 8:30 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. in the financial district and one from 11:30 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. in midtown.

These briefings will give you and an associate the opportunity to tell dozens of reporters at both briefings about your fund. You can tell journalists how the management team achieved outstanding performance, investment philosophy, sectors, stocks, and the market going forward.
