Hedge Funds Trading and Investments

Free for all investors and hedge fund managers!!

Opportunities in Asian hedge funds are growing at an unprecedented rate since the financial crisis. Whether you're a manager, trader or an investor there are dozens of reasons why you should be at this event. The foremost of which is to capitalize on all of the learning and networking opportunities on offer at this highly targeted, one day information packed industry forum.

According to HFR, investors have recently allocated over $10 billion to Asian hedge funds this year. Coupled with a rise in portfolio valuations, Asia hedge funds are valued at close to $100 billion - the highest level it's been since the financial crisis

In such an exciting climate, we once again bring you the leaders in Asia’s booming hedge funds industry to speak specifically on content covering a wide range of strategies and markets across Asia. Hugely popular last year, with over 200 delegates, the event is aimed to bring you up to speed on the recent developments, winning strategies and the future outlook for the industry as Asia’s economic strength continues to grow.

Come and hear how innovative hedge funds such as Lotus Peak, Swiss Asia Capital, and Ballingal Investment Advisors give their insight on investment and trading opportunities across the region?

Witness the renowned Asian economist Andy Xie give the low down on his predictions for the global economy in 2012 – one of the few public speaking engagements he has made in recent times in Singapore and sure to be as controversial as it is insightful.
