11:30am – 12:10pm	Session 4 | Buy Hard We look at dispelling the myth surrounding Europe and Japan and take a closer look into some of the attractive value propositions these places offer to investors. For some time now, investors have been rightly afraid to invest in any of these two places for various reasons. Europe, for example, has been penalised by its worsening political situation. But below the headline risks, a lot of great companies are continuing to generate steady profits, thanks to their diversification of businesses and broader client coverage. Finding those pearls has been very rewarding recently and we believe it is a good time to go fishing for more. In Japan the situation is different but with a new government in place and a central bank looking to boost growth, this theme may be an excellent investment opportunity. And it may be the right one this time! Chair Daniel Ghirardi Chief Executive Officer, SYZ Asset Management Panel Eleonore Dachicourt Director, Head of Portfolio Solutions Singapore, Deutsche Asset & Wealth Management Simon Grose-Hodge Managing Director Head of Investment Advisory, Singapore, LGT Bank Garth Bregman Regional Head of Discretionary Portfolio Management, Asia, BNP Paribas Wealth Management
12:10pm – 12:50pm	Session 5 | Building global Private Banking models to prepare for the elimination of inducements. As regulators globally begin to focus on inducements, the business model of private banks and asset managers is set to undergo fundamental change. While the full impact of the changes is unclear, it is likely that inducements in their current form will no longer exist. In Europe, where advice or discretionary portfolio management is on an ‘independent’ basis, the acceptance of fees, commissions or nonmonetary benefits will be prohibited under MiFiD II Level 1. In addition, individual European countries have been given the freedom to take these eliminations further with the UK and Netherlands choosing to do so. This has far reaching implications for private banks in Asia. Andrew will share examples of regulatory change in the US, India and UK, as well as examine the impact of this on the industry as a whole and on Asia in particular. In this light he will discuss the opportunities and challenges private banks in Asia have to build more sustainable business. Andrew Hendry Managing Director, Asia M&G Investments
12:50pm – 2:15pm	Luncheon
2:15pm – 3:15pm	Session 6 | Coffee Break/Breakout sessions a. Long-term savings – Case studies on delivering solutions (Citi markets) Investment professionals are facing a significant challenge. Balancing the financial demands of an ageing population who demands increasingly expensive medical and retirement care alongside turbulent, low-yielding markets is a hard task. Trying to do this whilst jumping over regulatory hurdles is even more challenging. Here, Citi discusses some groundbreaking case studies of delivering long-term saving solutions to Asian investors. Moderator: Shu Weng Lee Head of South East Asia Private Investor Product Sales, Citi Markets b. Partners in growth: Wealth management in the Asian era Asia’s wealth management landscape continues to evolve, presenting both promise and pitfalls for wealth managers and clients alike. Far be it a retelling of Switzerland’s own story, Asia’s wealth management industry today must grapple with rising costs of an ever-stretched – and in-demand – talent pool, increasing regulatory stringency, client apathy for structured products, and a continued hesitancy to pay for advice. At the same time, external asset managers, commonplace in Switzerland, sense an opportunity to reinforce the wealth manager-investor partnership left damaged by the Financial Crisis. Moderator: Vincent Magnenat Chief Executive Officer, Singapore Lombard Odier c. Hedge Fund investments – reconnecting wary investors Post 2008, Hedge Fund investing has faced a plethora of challenges. Fraud cases, a lack of liquidity and transparency, have driven private clients away from this asset class. However, when investors positioned themselves for both growth and volatilities across different asset classes, HF investment remains as one of the key consideration in their portfolio. How should private banks go about capturing client interests while avoiding the pitfalls? In this session, Lyxor discusses how to reconnect Hedge Fund investments with Asian private bankers and investors. Moderator: Jessie Zhang Head of Business Development Greater China and South East Asia, Lyxor Asset Management
