Asia Capital Markets Forum
October 28 2015 • JW Marriott, Hong Kong
Introduction
The IFLR Asia Capital Markets Forum returns to Hong Kong in October. Sentiment is positive among stakeholders as
Asia demonstrates exciting progress to further develop its capital markets. China is in the spotlight, with regulations
being introduced in efforts to make the yuan fully convertible. The successful launch of the stock connect has
triggered a chain reaction, such as proposals to establish a bond connect and suggestions to create a LSE-Shanghai
stock connect.
Attracting over 250 delegates last year, the forum will touch on latest matters relating to the growth of socially
responsible investment, KYC challenges, high yield opportunities, investing in distressed debt and how new
extraterritorial regulations will impact Asia based practitioners.
The forum brings together leading industry representatives, policy makers, key regulators, institutional investors, law
firms, banks and corporate counsel to discuss the key developments for Asia’s financing market through a series of
panel discussions.
Reserve your place today to hear trend predictions from leading experts and how you can use this to drive your
business and legal strategy. Contact sarah.wall@legalmediagroup.com to register.
