I will start the Lion Investor blog with a review of the Asia Trader and Investor Conference (ATIC) that was held in Singapore recently. This is a 2-day event held at Suntec that featured exhibitions by various financial institutions as well as a series of education talks, some of which were delivered by pretty well-known speakers. The event was organised by NextView and was also held in a few other countries.
The exhibitors that were present include some familiar faces to me. These include:
- CMC Markets
- ABN-AMRO bank
- OCBC Securities
- SAXO Capital Markets
- IGmarkets
- Phillip Capital
- Deutsche Bank
- Australia Wine Index
- Oilpods
- IPP (Investment Protection Planning) Financial Services
- Land International
- UK Land Investments International
- Fundsupermart
- T3B Holdings
- Universal Assets Group
- Smart Investor
- Freely (Clement Chiang)
- Trading Success (Ray Barros)
- MPH
- Wiley Publishing
- Guppy Traders (Daryl Guppy)
- Walton International Group
- Shareowl
There were also a few other exhibitors that I wasn’t too familiar with. These include:
- Bursa Malaysia
- ODL Securities
- HCM Stock Exchange (Ho Chi Minh)
- Hanoi Securities Trading Center
- Country Heights Grower Scheme
- Investor Central
- Nam An Securities
- Online Trading Academy
- SacomBank Securities
- Fin China
As I was busy attending all the talks throughout the two days, I didn’t really go and check out most of the exhibitors. In any case, I already know most of what they were offering.
There was a total of four seminar rooms at the conference, so there could be as many as three or four talks going on simultaneously at any one time. Therefore, a bit of planning was required on my part to select the ones I wanted to attend.
Most of the talks were free. However, the ones given by the prominent speakers required us to have a $30 ticket before we could attend. I suppose they have to do this to manage the demand and supply. The list of speakers include:
