The mortgage industry has experienced a very dramatic change. With this change comes a unique set of opportunities and challenges for mortgage professionals. In order to remain afloat, profitable and take advantage of emerging opportunities that are growing out of the recent crisis, one must start with fresh perspective and go back to basics.

In Asia, mortgages are one the fastest growing products areas within the banking and finance industry. Yet, the size of the mortgage market is still small compared to the other developed and developing nations over the globe. Commercial banks recognise that if they have to maintain their profit margins, they need to shift their focus from the wholesale segment and build their retail portfolios.

Global investors are increasingly turning to Asia for investments as Asia remains an attractive area for growth in the long term. As Asian markets evolve, investors and risk managers alike will need to understand the innovations and the products as they develop.

Looking back at the recent GFC that brought things to a head in the Asian banking industry; the excessive exposure to subprime crisis has stagnated the progress of mortgage industry. This conference will therefore address what is to become of mortgage markets post crisis, the importance of risk management, ways to diversify your current product portfolio by way of new, less complicated products and ways to address the current situation of tight liquidity whilst still being able to lend.

This event will provide you with strategic information to leverage on your Mortgage Portfolio to enhance your ROI and bottom lines.
