AIMA Singapore Annual Forum 2019

Singapore Annual Forum

AIMA Singapore invites you to join us at our Annual Forum on Tuesday 22 October at the SGX Auditorium.

The AIMA Singapore Annual Forum aims to bring together policy and regulatory bodies, hedge fund and alternative investment managers, industry professionals, and thought leaders to share insights and reflections on the industry.

This year, we celebrate AIMA's 15th Anniversary in Singapore and 20th Anniversary in APAC. In celebration, we have invited celebrity chefs Justin Quek to provide canapes and Janice Wong for desserts at our post-forum networking drinks.
