Delivering the keynote address was Ian Morris, Managing Director and Chief Economist of HSBC, who shared his views on the effects of rising oil and food prices, financial sector write-downs, inflation and the US housing construction sector in light of the mortgage crisis. Among the panel sessions was a discussion on the private equity industry in Asia, which still has plenty of growth potential despite lower expectations of global economic growth, highlighting the fact that the continent has several long term factors that will support its growth, including young and growing populations and high-growth industries. The Limited Partners panel, led by Philip Bilden of HarbourVest, examined how institutional investors could mitigate the impact of market cycles on their portfolios and provided perspective on how to evaluate new fund managers and brand extensions in Asia.
Next year's event will take place in New York in June. We look forward to seeing you there.
