Asia has long been a favorite investment destination for institutional investors. Investment hubs like Singapore, Hong Kong and Tokyo have served as centers of financial excellence for fund managers, hedge funds, private equity and venture capitalists. However new regulations and impediments from the West, with various colorful acronyms, have made it more difficult to be a successful asset owner and asset manager in Asia.

To discuss this new era in investing, we have gathered a world-class group of investment managers in Asia from across the asset class spectrum to discuss the trends, encumbrances and the rash of new OECD regulations on funds affecting Asian managers. The forum will also explore the applied research partnerships between academia and the financial industry amongst other pertinent issues.

The Forum is a follow-on to the highly successful Investments in Asia Forum supported by ABFER, which was held in 2013.
