Another Successful Year For Asia's Largest Fund Management Conference


Brand New Networking Opportunies For A More Interactive Experience At The FundForum Asia Conference

As always, NETWORKING is the No1 Priority for FundForum Asia delegates. This year, we integrated a few new formats to ensure that everyone were able to meet the people that matter most to them and their businesses. Here are some of the ways this was achieved

  • MY FUNDFORUM ASIA: This year we introduced our new web-based networking planner allowing delegates to start preparing for the conference up to 2 weeks in advance. This technology allowed registered participants to to view the delegate list, get in touch with other attendees & set up meetings before even setting foot in the conference venue

    • This will allow you to view the delegate list, get in touch with other attendees, set up meetings & review the programme up to 2 weeks before the event. For anyone who ever wished they had been better prepared for a conference, now you have no excuse

  • MEET THE DISTRIBUTOR ROUNDTABLES: This was a unique opportunity to spend some quality time with a few of the distrubutors speaking at the event, namely Wyson Lim - OCBC, Han Chong Tay - UOB, Any Cho - PICTET & Myles Morin - MANULIFE

    • Grab a cup of coffee and choose from several networking tables, with amonst others Wyson Lim - OCBC, Richard Wong - DBS, Han Chong Tay, UOB

  • CEO LUNCHTABLES: Once again our delegates were able to choose to have lunch with a leading regional CEO and continue the discussion intiated in the conference room in a more informal manner.

    • This is your opportunity to exchange ideas and business cards with the people shaping the business at the moment

  • SPEED NETWORKING: A brand new addition to this year's event,  Speed Networking was a unique chance to meet a maximum number of people in a very short space of time. Efficiency was the name of the game this year at FundForum Asia!

    • 20 tables, a delegate on either side and a whistle. Every minute one side will move to the next table whilst the other stays still. Ideal for this climate where money and time are of the essence!

  • GET INVOLVED: This year, we made it easier than ever to voice your opinion with our panel of speakers through dedicated Q&A time, anonymous question time and polling sessions.

    • For this reason we have scheduled more time for audience Q&A as well as an entire day dedicated to polling allowing you to cast your vote on a number of burning issues and determine the direction of discussion

  • PLUS: Back by popular demand, the FundForum Asia Distribution Summit with the best line-up of fund selectors ever, was once again a roaring success and the best opportunity to meet and debate with the leading gatekeepers in the region.

    • Hear from the likes of Anurag Mahesh - Deutsche Priavte Wealth,  Bruno Lee - HSBC, Amy Cho - Pictet, Bryan Henning - Standard Chartered & Myles Morin -  Manulife on what to expect from your gatekeeper in this new distribution environment.

  • PLUS - Brand New: FundForum Asia China Summit Day. This was a unique chance to get an in depth look at the dynamics dictating the largest and most dynamic market in the region. Given its success, it may well become a FundForum Asia fixture.

    • Hear from the following experts:

    • Peter Alexander, Principal, Z-BEN ADVISORS
    • Louis Gave, CEO, GAVEKAL
    • Chiang Hsien, Chief Representative, Shanghai Office, ALLIANZ GLOABL INVESTORS
    • William Kwok, Head of QFII Dept, PING AN SECURITIES CO LTD
    • Gerard DeBenedetto, Executive Director GUOTAI ASSET MANAGEMENT

Determining The Founding Principals For The Asian Asset Management Industry In A New Environment

If 2009 was a year of crisis, 2010 is the year for determining a new set of principals for the Investment Management business in Asia, a theme which stood out loud and clear at this year's FundForum Asia. It is fair to say that FundForum Asia is the leading asset management conference in the region, and here are a few reasons which make it stand out:

  • The largest and most senior speaker faculty comprising of all the leading CEOs, Fund Selectors & Investment Experts from the region and beyond. Some of the leading companies represented included: Prudential Corporation Asia, Janus Capital, Schroders, ING Investment Management, Aberdeen Asset Management amongst many many more....
  • More Fund Buyers to ensure that your conference experience is not only educational but lucrative as well. Gatekeepers from the following companies candidly shared their views with our audience: AIA, HSBC, Fubon Bank, OCBC, & UOB
  • The most comprehensive programme aiming to address all those burning issues facing you in your daily porfessional life including 2 in depth summit days for enhanced learning opportunities
  • Some of the best networking and interactive opportunities so that you get your say in the debate and meet the people that matter most to you and your business

Having said this, 2010 was not without its own difficulties (albeit of a geological nature, rather than economic one). I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our speakers, CEOs, CIOs, Distributors and Investment Experts, as well as our loyal delegates and sponsors, who made this conference another resounding success depsite the travel restriction in Europe. We couldn't do this without this support and together, weensure that FundForum Asia went ahead as planned and remained the region's leading conference of its kind. A Massive Thank You To You All!
