Date: June 4, 2010

2ND ASIAN INVESTMENT CONFERENCE AND EXHIBITION (AICE)
An investor education fair to deepen investment knowledge for sound wealth creation

5th & 6th June 2010
Suntec International Convention Centre, Hall 601

Singapore, 3 June 2010 – Securities Investors Association (Singapore) today announced the return of Asian Investment Conference and Exhibition 2010 (AICE 2010), from Saturday 5th Jun to Sunday 6th Jun 2010.

To be held in Hall 601 of Suntec International Convention and Exhibition Centre, the event will allow public-listed companies and financial institutions to educate investors on current trends. AICE 2010 will also promote greater awareness on the need to be financially literate on the new products and the associated risks. All seminars are free for attendees.

Mr David Gerald, President of SIAS, said: “The current situation in the markets has resulted in investors receiving mixed signals on the state of the global economy and the long-term health of their investments. While Singapore continues to push ahead, issues in Europe continue to affect investments. The recent events have made it difficult for investors to make informed decisions on their investments. AICE 2010 is therefore a timely platform for investors to hear from experts on the issues affecting their investments. SIAS has carefully selected regional and global experts to guide Singapore Investors on their current predicament. The event is also an opportunity for listed companies to educate investors on their business fundamentals, long-term growth plans or other areas.”

Supported by the Singapore Exchange (SGX) AICE 2010 is once again organised by SIAS encompassing an exhibition featuring 45 listed companies and financial services providers, with over 60 talks by esteemed speakers and other activities.

This year we have Gold Sponsors – CapitaLand Ltd and World Gold Council. World Gold Council has generously sponsored 10 gold coins valued at $194 each for 10 lucky winners who attend at least 5 seminars at AICE. Phillip Capital and Great Eastern are the Silver Sponsors.

A broad range of topics will be covered by well-known speakers such as:

Mr Liew Mun Leong (President and CEO, CapitaLand Limited – “China’s economic growth, urbanization and property market”)

Mr Tony Sagami (Owner and Founder, Harvest Advisors – “Will China’s growth be enough to ward off any negative implication for Asia?”)
