Exchange Traded Forum 2019 - Toronto | Radius Financial Education | 1 April 2019 | The Westin Harbour Castle, 1 Harbour Square, Toronto, ON M5J 1A6, Canada

Investing has changed and the products offered are evolving quickly. As these asset classes increase in number and sophistication, investors are rapidly discovering that these products are an excellent investment option to diversify, limit risk and capitalize on opportunity. The alpha/beta separation is becoming more distinct and the need for expert knowledge in every asset class is now needed by investors, advisors and managers.

Our top-down approach to the agenda enables us to deliver timely, thought-provoking, cutting edge, and sometimes controversial insight in a stimulating manner. We understand the importance of learning from the best. Each conference offers a well balanced speaker composition consisting of insight from authors, educators, economists, regulatory bodies and industry leaders from around the globe.
