Bloomberg Invest Asia

Asia’s institutional investor community is extremely diverse. But no matter the sector — from huge sovereign wealth and state-owned pension funds, to cash-rich insurers, global banks and their regional upstarts, to private equity, venture capital funds and the growing hedge fund industry — everyone faces the same challenge: Finding areas of growth in the current low-yield environment.

Big money. Big ideas.

Asia’s institutional investor community is extremely diverse. But no matter the sector — from huge sovereign wealth and state-owned pension funds, to cash-rich insurers, global banks and their regional upstarts, to private equity, venture capital funds and the growing hedge fund industry — everyone faces the same challenge: Finding areas of growth in the current low-yield environment.

Bloomberg Invest will bring together some of the most influential figures in global institutional investing to provide new insight and reveal the new growth opportunities (and risks) in 2018 and beyond. Backed by Bloomberg’s unmatched global data resources and analysis, Bloomberg Invest will equip institutional investors with an indispensable map in their hunt for yield.
