Electronic Trading Asia 2008 will bring together the users and providers of Asia’s key trading platforms. After a successful first year in 2007 and with the rapid growth of electronic trading in the region, Electronic Trading Asia 2008 will again provide an opportunity for the buy and sell side to network and explore business opportunities.

• Understand the barriers and opportunities faced by electronic trading in Asia
• Explore thought provoking strategies to gain a competitive edge in a lucrative environment
• Learn what industry innovators and leaders are doing to expand in Asia and why they are all rushing here
• Hear from key buy side traders and understand what makes them tick

Riding on the growth of the Asian economy, perception changes by regulators and the growth of the investment fund industry, electronic and algorithmic trading is experiencing growth that has never been seen before. Coupled with a need to make quick, increasingly complex and more cost effective trades, traders need to educate themselves on the various options that are now being offered by investment banks and other platform providers.

High growth potential for electronic trading platforms in Asia due to:

• Strong Asian currencies
• Huge influx of funds
• Good economic fundamentals
• Improved openness to trade and investments
• Increased global attention
• More hedge funds opening in Asia

Electronic Trading Asia 2008 will provide insight and education to institutions, corporates, investment banks and other buy-side users on the latest trends, techniques and opportunities that are available to them.
