For the 5th consecutive year the PIP Investor Zurich Conference 2012 will feature contributions from senior investment specialists and major allocators, analysing current behaviour across financial markets. As downgrades and politics continue to implicate the growing concerns in Europe, we evaluate to what extent will the impact of inflationary pressure have on global bond and commodity portfolios?

With unprecedented volatility in equity markets, are traditional investment techniques still appropriate for institutional investors and does diversifying a portfolio really work in today’s financial markets? Our experts will evaluate whether the Swiss franc is likely to get stronger and what lessons have hedge fund managers learnt from the previous crisis? All this and more from this year’s PIP Investor Zurich conference.

Alongside the main conference will feature a host of interactive workshops, dedicated exclusively to a number of timely investment strategies across a series of asset classes.
