    As the global economy looks out on to a brighter future, investors are slowly but surely regaining their appetite for new investment opportunities. Of particular interest are the Asian frontier markets, which have been showing record growth and numerous opportunities for investors willing to take a higher level of risk for even higher rewards. Countries like Vietnam, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Bangladesh are such markets that are less developed and unexplored, but with huge potential for growth and high returns on investment.

    With opportunities in emerging giants like China and India continuing to diminish, the time for turning to these new, untapped, and under-capitalised markets has never been better. This timely Marcus Evans conference will help investors recognize the immense potential of the Asian frontier markets as an alternative investment opportunity, and how to integrate these compelling high-growth markets into their current portfolios for a much-sought after diversification hedge.
