The “must attend” industry event presenting LatAm’s unique opportunities at a time of global market distress
Now entering its 4th year, Hedge Funds World LatAm is the largest, most established and most dynamic hedge fund conference for the LatAm investment community.
These are extraordinary times for Latin America. G7 countries have clearly felt the reverberations of the sub-prime credit crisis with tighter lending conditions and central banks struggling to balance the risk of slower growth against the risk of higher inflation.
It is against this turbulent financial back drop that Latin America stands as one of the most promising and attractive investment opportunities in global markets today.
Latin America has long been considered as the black sheep of the global emerging markets offering, resonating political instability, financial crises and risky markets.
However, there is a new story about Latin America. As a region, it is experiencing some of the strongest growth rates in the world, driven by surging commodity prices and demand from the USA, India and China in particular.
Governments have been stable and even left-wing administrations have recognised the importance of reliable financial markets to attract foreign investment. International investors have been exploring the best opportunities in Latin America and Hedge Funds World LatAm 2008 delivers the right tools to access them.
