Event itself was extremely useful. Meeting people who are active in the ETF space and seeing the ETF industry in Asia grow so rapidly for me was a big surprise even though I’m active in this space.

Summary
ETFs are increasingly becoming an important component of investment portfolios amid market volatility. Last year, the ETF industry has grown 13% to US$350 billion and product offerings have expanded to include all major asset classes. Falling commodity prices, FX volatility, reduced bond liquidity and turbulent equity markets are expected to further push the growth of ETFs as investors seek stable returns. Demand for innovative ETF products has also risen. On the institutional front, factor-based ETFs are becoming more popular, while the increasing popularity of robo-advisory is expected to propel demand of ETF in the retail market. Amidst the prevailing low-yield environment, how can investors utilize ETFs to generate returns and enhance their portfolios? How can they choose the ETFs that meet their requirements? How do investors manage the risks involved in investing in ETFs? What criteria do they use in choosing a provider?
The Asset Events is pleased to organize 2nd ETF Asia Summit 2016, a strategic one-day event which will bring together investors, asset managers and product providers to discuss and debate the factors likely to drive the development of the ETF market in Asia.
Don't miss your chance to be part of the year's most exciting event.
