Capital Alliance to host inaugural South Asia Investor Conference in Colombo

Sri Lanka’s No. 1 investment banking firm and preferred partner in financial markets, Capital Alliance (CAL), announced the inaugural South Asia Investor Conference (SAIC 2018), which will be held on May 7 and 8, 2018, at Taj Samudra Hotel.

A joint collaboration between Capital Alliance Securities, Sri Lanka; AKD Securities, Pakistan and Lanka Bangla Securities Ltd, Bangladesh, this one-of-its-kind conference will feature leading large and midcap corporates from Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, along with central bankers, institutional investment managers and other decision makers from these countries.

The SAIC franchise is intended to be a key annual event for frontier market investors, hosted on a rotating basis in each of the partner countries. Each year, the event will showcase the collective potential investment value and deliberate on important developments facing the region.

The conference aims to accelerate the process of economic integration in South Asia by creating strong crossborder capital market linkages and cultivating a favourable environment for cross-border listings.

This year’s edition will feature talks by key Central Bank and government officials of the three countries who will present a macro outlook on the economic prospects of the South Asian region. The event will provide an exclusive opportunity for international institutional investors to meet C-suite executives from some of South Asia’s leading companies as well as a chance to engage with large domestic institutional investors to understand groundlevel realities and insights. Institutional fund managers from the USA, UK, Hong Kong, Singapore and China will be in attendance.

Aimed at promoting investment in South Asian markets, which boast a population exceeding 1.7 billion and a burgeoning middle class, the conference aims to put the spotlight on the fastest growing region in the world over the next decade.
