The turmoil of the credit crisis has accelerated since the collapse of Lehman Brothers in September, affecting institutional investors and the asset-management industry in unforeseen ways. AsianInvestor is organizing a one-day conference to focus on industry solutions to these unprecedented challenges.

Investors, fund-management executives and consultants will discuss and debate the shape of the industry in Asia Pacific in 2009, and what steps need to be taken to get "back to business".

The day’s program, to run from 9:30 to 15:00, will put a spotlight on:

-Diversification when there are no ‘safe harbors’
-Challenges to the traditional funds industry: ETFs, structured products
-Does alpha/beta separation still make sense, post-crisis?
-Fee structures: are investors getting what they’ve paid for? How are both traditional and alternative asset managers restructuring fees?
-Are the region's regulators up to the challenge; which jurisdictions have gained or lost credibility?
