The next 4th Annual National Asset-Liability Managment Middle East symposium will take place in October 2013.
As uncertainty surrounding the Eurozone crisis still dominates headlines, sovereign institutions in the Middle East face unique challenges in rebalancing their reserve portfolios and redefining best practices for managing risk.
As yields remain low, there are incentives to make new investments and to diversify into new asset classes. However change necessitates an element of risk, and in the current environment sovereign institutions must consider all of their options extremely carefully before making asset allocation decisions.
Last year the 3rd Annual National Asset-Liability Management Middle East symposium helped key decisions makers at central banks and sovereign wealth funds consider such options. The conference agenda offered in-depth panel discussions and presentations on methods of diversifying asset allocations, optimizing reserve levels and implementing best practices for risk management.
Previous 2012 topics included:
- Asset allocation challenges for sovereign institutions: operating in a connected, global economy
