Do you crave exposure to foreign indexes? Are your holdings a little heavy in any given sector? Do you think that emerging markets are the next big thing, but aren't sure of how best to invest?

Then ETF & Close-End Funds World could hold the answers you are looking for.

Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) have been growing in popularity ever since their conception in the early 1990s. Institutional investors are finding the combination of index investing with the added benefit and low costs of individual stock ownership simply irresistible. Pension funds are beginning to see ETFs as an investment product that can reduce risk, while offering a good geographic exposure.

However irresistible ETFs may look there are still a number of issues that are causing concerns within the investor community.

Concerns such as…

• How do ETFs compare to alternative products?
• What are the costs that I need to be aware of when investing in ETFs?
• How liquid are ETFs and what should I know about trading this vehicle?
• What restrictions apply and what is the regulatory landscape like?

… are dampening the enthusiasm of investors.

ETF & Close-End Funds World is set to tackle these issues head on. Practical case studies from pension funds, insurance companies and private banks, to name but a few, together with industry leading insight from key ETF players are set to dramatically increase your understanding of ETFs and how best to use them within your own portfolio.

The Director-level interactive conference will attract the most senior players from around the world. (Typically an IRC Conference delivers an audience composition of 75+% Director Level and above from 30 to 50 countries).

The  ETF & Close-End Funds World conference is not just a conference. It’s a knowledge experience, a business meeting and a marketplace. Our event partners will enjoy a cost-effective, strategic, multi-channel marketing solution that culminates in the event itself.
