Historically, global investment flows to the Asia Pacific were aimed at leveraging the growth potential of diverse emerging and advanced economies. Over the last decade, global asset managers and institutional investors have been able to generate strong and stable returns from various asset classes by taking advantage of low capital costs, booming consumer markets, technological innovations, and improved regulatory and governance environments. While few would doubt the region’s ability to generate returns, the subdued global economy and a strong US dollar have impacted the availability of capital for companies to grow. Our experts will analyze the investment outlook throughout the Asia Pacific, from Australia to ASEAN, and North and East Asia. Which asset classes are still pulling in fresh capital? Might weaker local currencies and higher interest rates spur greater capital inflows?
