The alternative investments industry in Asia is now more exciting than ever!

With returns from traditional markets expected to remain low for some time, pension funds across Asia are diversifying into alternative assets for enhanced returns and reduced risk. Most investors have already made allocation to alternatives such as hedge funds, private equity, commodities and real estate which can increase returns while diversifying and reducing overall investment risk. There has also recently been an increased interest in other "alternative" alternatives, such as structured products, mezzanine finance and distressed debt. Alternative Investments Summit Asia will be the most comprehensive forum designed to educate managers and more importantly investors, in the broad spectrum of opportunities to both diversify one's portfolio and achieve superior returns through alternative investments. KEY TOPICS: Will Asian markets continue to be HOT investments? Industry synopsis: Where is the money coming from and where is it heading?
