Expert Reviews

"From my perspective the conference could have been improved by having a session where I go into details how you can use ETFs as a proactive strategy, how to define which areas are offering the best upward trends, how stocks can lead you into certain ETF sectors and how we outperformed a buy and hold strategy by 1000% from 2002 to 2010. As a speaker at conferences worldwide I found the ETF conference and Index Summit Asia 2011 to be one of the best organised and a really good venue for networking. We certainly picked up good contacts and even management business."
