ITAS Asia - The Transfer Agency Forum for Asia

The 2nd Annual Transfer Agency and Fund Operations Forum brought all the regional and international players in Hong Kong on November 11-12. 

This really was the best use of your time - a structured, information packed event with great networking to boot - this is the Asian transfer agency conference.

Unsurpassed Networking Opportunities

A big thank you to all our speakers who made valuable and insightful contributions to ITAS Asia 2009, and we were delighted to see such a senior profile of attendees from Asia and beyond during these tough economic times. Over 25 speakers explored the challenges that the transfer agency and fund processing industry faces in these most volatile of times.

We would like to thank all our sponsors, especially State Street/IFDS and Caceis as Associate Sponsors, with additional support from Clearstream and Euroclear.

We look forward to coming back to Hong Kong again next year, and hope to see many new faces and as well as those familiar to the Forum as we look to a brighter 2010 and beyond.

The event made it easy for you to network and gain quick reading of the market, all in 2 days, which means you didn’t have to spend weeks on the road.
