Achieving exceptional yield optimisation while remaining within a framework of controlled risk

With investors continuing to consider alternative investments in their portfolios, the Asian structured products space has flourished with issuance volumes rising, new underlyings and risk adherence products in circulation. However given the current environment of tighter credit conditions, elevated volatility and the Lehman aftermath, the demand for investor protection, transparent products and regulatory measures has taken a significant leap.

The 7^th annual Structured Products Asia conference is the only event of its kind discussing the most pressing issues faced by Asia's structured products manufacturers and distributors. Developed in consultation with the leading lights in the region, this year's 2-stream programme will focus on understanding of when, how and why the products would add value to portfolios as well as the best practices in embracing the evolving regulatory landscape.

Congress highlights include:

Insights into the key trends across the Asia Pacific region including consensus growth forecasts, recent product development and competitive environments
Updates on recent regulatory and fiscal changes that have impacted the markets
2 unrivalled streams evaluating new asset classes in structured products and emerging opportunities in ETF investments
Analysis and commentary on competitive environments, trends in wrappers and underlyings
Sessions on the evolving market for structured products and the future landscape of investment advisory and wealth management
Networking opportunities with over 250 industry practitioners during the multiple breaks and cocktail reception
