This conference is a timely addition to Adam Smith Conferences’ portfolio of financial and investment events.

The portfolio includes the “RUSSIAN BANKING FORUM”, “UKRAINIAN BANKING FORUM”, “RUSSIAN ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENT FORUM”, “FUNDS FORUM”, “CFO SUMMITS” (in Russia, Ukraine & Kazakhstan) which are all well-known industry gatherings among financial professionals in the region.

At this conference top level speakers representing well-known private banks, wealth management companies and family offices from Switzerland, UK, France, Netherlands and of course Russia & CIS will share their invaluable experience with you.

While the programme will include a range of keynote presentations, its sessions primarily will be in the form of interactive Panel Discussions.

Why is it a timely event?
 
Although onshore private banking in Russia remains relatively small by global standards, there can be no doubt that is shows great growth potential. There are various estimates, however, according to Credit Suisse data, the Russian private banking market has about $15 billion in assets, with the potential to grow to $400 billion. (Wealth Briefing, Feb 2009)
 
The global financial crisis has affected the wealth management & private banking industry but at the same time there are now many new opportunities, especially in the emerging private banking markets, such as Russia and neighbouring countries.

Such opportunities, as well as challenges of developing a private banking and wealth management business (both on-shore and off-shore) for HNWIs and UHNWIs from Russia and CIS will be discussed at this conference.
