Another session looked at how investors are seeking to benefit from banks continued retreat from privately negotiated deals in the wake of the global financial crisis.

Responsible investment was also on the agenda, with specialists highlighting how environmental, social and governance factors is beneficial for portfolios, but nothing that better data is needed to convince Asian investors.
