CFF – NYC 2012
The financial crisis and the resulting world-wide recession encouraged a public discussion if and how financial practices would have to change to avoid future crises. Regulators and market participants will have to find well-balanced answers to ensure that financial markets will be able to perform their function in the future.
At the same time sharpening resource scarcity, climate change, ongoing demographic changes, globalization and continuous technological innovation offer new investment opportunities. These opportunities will impact optimal asset allocation strategies for investors. And they will offer business potential for companies early identifying underlying trends.
The Campus for Finance − New Year’s Conference 2012 will discuss the implications of necessary changes in the markets and of new investment opportunities – on investors, financial intermediaries, capital-seekers as well as on policy makers.
“Sustainable Finance – How to benefit from global mega trends?!”
