Nordic Alternative Investment Forum 2008

The 6th annual Nordic Alternative Investment Forum will provide comprehensive analysis of alternative assets in an institutional portfolio. Ensure that you are at the cutting-edge of the latest investment strategies and alternative opportunities to deliver strong returns during a challenging financial climate. Join a leading speaker panel of pension funds and alternative managers from the Nordic region and across the globe for refreshing analysis and insight into the next opportunities in the alternative investment market.

The leading alternatives event for the Nordic region’s institutional investors

As investors across Europe move away from bond and equity funds, alternatives with low correlation to traditional markets have never been more important for Nordic investors. The 2008 agenda addresses the biggest questions in the alternatives market and global investment industry – from hedge fund risk measurement to evaluating replication offers, ETFs to emerging markets, inflation-linked securities to emerging markets, and commodities to credit. Meet your 2008 speaker panel.

Network with a senior network of Nordic pension fund representatives and alternatives professionals to innovate, diversify and drive returns from your alternative allocation. View details of the confirmed delegates who are registered to attend this year.
