SHANGHAI, May 22, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Emerging
markets-focused broker-dealer Mason Baxter is
pleased to announce that Monday, 4th December has been
confirmed as the date upon which it will hold its 7th Annual
Investment Symposium. Held at the firm's Shanghai, China headquarters, the symposium
will focus on the key issues likely to have the most profound
impact on global markets and the investment management industry
through the remainder of the year and on into 2018.
So far, more than 200 invitations have been accepted and the
symposium is expected to host more than 400 institutional
investors, industry figures and financial intermediaries.
Last year's gathering was attended by over 300 delegates from 10
countries within the Asia Pacific
region. Mason Baxter's Chairman and Chief Executive expects this
year's to be even more successful.
"One of the biggest worries we had to contend with at last
year's event was the deep concern among both individual and
institutional investors about the highly-anticipated monetary
policy tightening at the US Federal Reserve and what it would mean
for Asian financial markets. There was considerable consternation
over the Brexit debacle and the possible ramifications of
Donald Trump's presidency but, as
we've seen, none of these concerns have had quite the impact many
had feared," explains the Mason Baxter CEO.
As in previous years, the symposium will feature a number of
keynote addresses by industry luminaries including a former Federal
Reserve Bank Chairman who, last year, was a voting member on the
Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), the body which meets several
times a year to set US interest rates and monetary policy.
"Another major concern last year centered on the growth of
support for populist politics in Europe — particularly in France and the
Netherlands — but with centrist parties securing victories
in general elections in both countries so far in 2017, we suspect
there'll be a collective sigh of relief among our guests this
year," says the Chief Investment Officer at Mason Baxter.
