About the Event
Asia's leading fund management centre is always going to be a major potential market for the Islamic finance industry. Couple this with the Monetary Authority of Singapore creating a city which welcomes Islamic finance via new legislation, and you have a key market. Close connections with the Middle East and being sandwiched between the world's largest Islamic finance market (Malaysia) and the world's most populous Muslim market (Indonesia) and there you have it.
The Singaporean event has been a regular on the Roadshow circuit since 2008 and we enjoy a wonderful relationship with the MAS and local industry players. Attracting strong crowds of 180+, the audience consists largely of the investor community seeking new investment opportunities.
