Event Summary - 2008
Private Banker International Wealth Management Summit 2008
Singapore
6-7 November 2008
The stakes in global private banking are getting ever higher. The global credit crisis has harmed the reputation of several large private banks, giving opportunities for other institutions to attract new clients. Economic slowdown in the West is placing more emphasis on Asia as the region where new wealth is being created most strongly.
This year, the Private Banker International Wealth Management Summit will look searchingly at such fundamental changes in the industry. High-level strategic insights will be coupled with state-of-the-art practical advice and guidance for both existing and new entrants into the wealth business.
These will include analysis of the real opportunities in global wealth. The emerging and potentially highly lucrative nations of Asia are seeing intensifying competition, with India and China as well as other regional players like Japan and Taiwan the targets of growing numbers of wealth managers.
Each year, the Private Banker International Summit is attended by several hundred delegates from around the world -- reflects the huge attention the wealth industry now receives from a range of institutions – banks, insurers, brokers, independent financial advisors and money managers.
