Asia is set to overtake North America as the largest region in terms of amassed wealth by 2013 – this is a major contributing factor behind the International Herald Tribune (IHT) deciding to hold this forum here in Malaysia. This is the first forum of this kind that the IHT has been part of and this forum is expected to be the inaugural event, repeated on an annual basis henceforth.

15 top tier speakers will be present at the forum. Speaking at the event will be Sir Richard Branson, founder of the Virgin Group, Mary Buffett, daughter-in-law of Warren Buffett. Also confirmed is Dr Fan Gang, Member of The Monetary Policy Committee of The People’s Bank of China and Director, National Economic Research Institute (NERI). David Eldon, Chairman of the Dubai Financial Services Authority will be present as will Dr Anil Gupta the world’s leading expert on strategy and globalisation. They will be joined by a host of other experts in the field of finance and investment.

The forum will be held:
Venue : Renaissance Hotel, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Date : 27th & 28th September 2010

The forum will provide a valuable platform on addressing issues such as the financial recovery, Asia’s potential in developing alternative investments, the region’s response to the financial crisis and the impact of financial reforms on investors; the forum promises to provide a unique networking opportunity; sharing the latest intelligence, as well as to explore alternative investment opportunities with a focus on China, India and the rest of Asia.
