Hedge Funds World Middle East 2009
This year, more than twenty end-investors, both international and local, feature on the speaking programme.
After the gloom of the global banking crisis, the Middle East is one of the few regions of the world which is sheltered from the full effects of a global economic recession.
The GCC equity markets now appear on the radar screen of every large global investor, and many of the international investors flocking to Dubai for Hedge Funds World Middle East are also on a mission to find local fund managers to help them take advantage of lower prices and build up their fledgling Middle East exposure.
Hedge Funds World Middle East attracts a large number of decision-makers from sovereign wealth funds and other government agencies, as well as family offices and managers of family wealth, pension funds, private banks and other local investing institutions. Last year over 40% of conference delegates were investors.<
