Atlas, General Mills Selected to Speak at Conference

Atlas and General Mills presented at the annual AFP conference in Boston

Atlas and General Mills were recently selected by a panel of treasury leaders to present at the annual AFP conference in Boston this year. The session, entitled “Breakfast of Champions: Managing Executive Benefit Costs, Risks with Innovative Hedging,” covered hedging nonqualified deferred compensation plans with Total Return Swaps. The speakers were Robert Polansky, CFA, Assistant Treasurer and Director of Treasury Operations at General Mills and David Marshall, President of Atlas Financial Partners.

The event was one of the largest treasury conferences in the world, and only 20% of submissions to present were accepted, which speaks to the high level of interest in this strategy.
