The current economic slowdown as a result of the “credit crunch” is widely considered the worst to hit investors globally since the dot-com bubble burst in 2001. Now that the opportunity to make quick imaginary profits from bad real-estate and property deals has disappeared, the need for another source of wealth has never been more urgent. In a world of currency devaluations and instability, zero-percent money market rates, talks of massive central bank monetization of government bonds and a speculated increase in demand on raw materials to sustain upcoming infrastructure projects backed by government stimulus plans, commodities has emerged as the safe-haven for preserving wealth and as a desired investment asset class.

The ability to understand and analyze the market is now the key to making money in this alternative investment vehicle. Asset classes like real-return bonds and commodities are preferred to protect the purchasing power of the capital. This is a great way to diversify and stabilize the investment portfolio and to minimize risks.

This conference offers prospective investors, bankers, policy-makers and industries expert insights into the exciting opportunities related to commodities tradingand investment whilst offering solutions to overcome challenges and risks. It also serves as an excellent platform for exchange of ideas and discussions on cutting-edge issues on current economy trend and investment, developing new market through merger and acquisition activities, learning innovative investment strategies, in depth research and expert analysis on managing investments in commodities using hedge funds, futures, options, ETFs and other non-traditional instruments as well as tools to profit from the growth of hedge funds and alternatives, the legal perspective on investment, contract management and dispute resolution.
