Markets Summit to examine 2012 outlook



With investment professionals looking to assess likely conditions in 2012, the specialist PortfolioConstruction Forum will next month host its 2012 Markets Summit - The King is dead... Long live the King - examining whether cash will remain king.
The Markets Summit facilitates debate on the medium-term outlook for the markets, and the portfolio construction implications.
The interactive, one-day program features a dozen local and international investment professionals - economists, investment strategists and senior market specialists from around the world - discussing the three-year outlook for the global economy, key markets and asset classes, as well as the opportunities and risks, and signposts to watch for.
Markets Summit 2012 will debate how long cash will remain king, how other asset classes will fare against it over the coming three years, and how we can do better than cash when building quality investor portfolios.
The summit will be held on 14 February at the Australian Technology Park, in Redfern, Sydney. Participants can register for the summit here.
