Growing Pains and Gains for 2018 | Financial Times | 29 November 2017 | The Westin Singapore, 2 Marina View, Asia Square Tower 2, Singapore 018961

The Financial Times and PineBridge Investments are delighted to present the Growing Pains and Gains for 2018, an exclusive forum examining the prospects for investment and returns in a transitioning and recovering world.

For the first time in a decade the global economy is expanding. Confidence is returning to markets, with the Eurozone, China and wider emerging economies poised for accelerated growth in the year ahead. At the same time, as the recovery gathers pace a number of disruptive events and trends are presenting opportunities and threats across many dimensions. Rapid technological innovations such as robo-investing and artificial intelligence look set to transform the future of business against a background of divergent monetary policies and inflationary uncertainty, escalating political and geo-political tensions and continuing transformation in China.

For investors, questions around the strength, direction and pace of the recovery are clouding the outlook for yield, return and overall growth, as they look, once again, to rebalance their portfolios and rethink their appetite for risk.

This high-level forum will feature distinguished speakers discussing the global economic highs and lows of 2017 and the prospects and challenges for 2018. Chaired by the FT, this event will share timely insights on the likely disruptive trends ahead, and identify the investment opportunities that will emerge from accelerating pace of change. We hope you will join our discussion on the key factors that will influence investment and returns in the next 12 months.
