The New York Society of Security Analysts Conference Promotes Detailed Discourse on African Capital Markets
New York, NY (PRWEB) September 26, 2013 -- An expert panel of professionals who have been ahead of the curve in the burgeoning African investment field will give attendees a true insider’s view at the New York Society of Security Analysts’ African Capital Markets Conference on October 18, 2013. The panel features speakers who have succeeded in delivering returns on investments such as fixed income, private and public equity, and highly-structured vehicles such as project finance in the world’s second-largest continent.
Serious global investors know about the tremendous economic potential of the African continent and the significant strides many of its countries have made over the past decade. The only questions for those without direct experience are the mechanics of investing and the balancing of unique risk and reward factors. This conference will give investment professionals a more in-depth look at the specific investment vehicles in Africa and the methods of analyzing and investing in them, and address the global challenge of applying increasingly data-driven financial analysis techniques to markets with often unreliable statistical coverage.
African Alliance is the sponsor of this conference that features panel discussions on debt capital markets, public equity, and private equity in Africa. Speakers include:
• Maxine Barnett, CEO, Acorus Capital
• Ashley Bendell, Ex-Head of Africa Equity Distribution (EMEA Equities), Renaissance Capital
• Jake Bright, Whitehead Fellow, Foreign Policy Association; Contributing Writer, Bloomberg Institute
• Anthony Carroll, Vice President, Manchester Trade
