Nearly 4,000 mutual fund industry insiders, RIAs and other attendees descended on the Moscone Center in San Francisco for the 20th Schwab Impact Conference. Keynote speakers at the confab, which took place November 1-4, included Chuck Schwab, former UK prime minister Tony Blair, Pimco co-founder and co-CIO Bill Gross and astronaut and U.S. Navy Captain Mark Kelly.
