Distinguished guests from Korea and elsewhere,

 

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the Sixth Seoul International Derivatives Securities

Conference, which is being hosted jointly by the Korea Exchange and the Financial News.

The Financial News launched this conference in 2003, as it recognized in advance the importance of

derivatives securities. Up until then, the general public lacked understanding about derivatives securities

or had a negative perception of them.

This year’s conference deals with “The hedge fund market following the subprime mortgage crisis and

green finance.” With uncertainties lingering in the U.S. financial market, scholars from Korea and elsewhere

will engage in clear-cut analysis of the changes facing the hedge fund market, which is closely related

with derivative securities, and suggest solutions. Scholars will also hold heated debate about how investors

will perceive investment in environment-related fields, including greenhouse gas emissions, which have

become a common challenge facing all of humanity.

I hope that the conference will present a clear vision for the future to the countless people engaged in the

financial industry.

Thank you.

Jae-Ho Jeon

Honored guests, ladies and gentlemen,

 

I welcome all of you to the Sixth Seoul International Derivatives Securities Conference.

 

The event, which is being hosted jointly by the Korea Exchange and the Financial News, has become the

best derivatives conference in Asia, amid enthusiastic attention from financiers in Korea and elsewhere.

 

For the theme of this year’s conference, we chose, “The hedge fund market following the subprime

mortgage crisis and green finance,” a very timely issue. In other words, we will focus both on “The state of

the hedge fund market in the wake of the subprime mortgage crisis,” and the emerging “green finance”

market

.

As you are well aware, the global economy is mired in a chaotic situation stemming from the U.S. subprime

mortgage debacle. It is true that many derivatives securities, in which hedge funds invest, are embroiled

in financial market uncertainties. This conference will serve as a great opportunity for participants to

examine the current situation of derivatives securities and hedge funds that are undergoing a transition

period. At the same time, the event will offer a chance to better understand derivatives securities and

hedge funds, which are essential to the development of the financial industry in Korea, ahead of the

effectuation of the Capital Market Consolidation Act set for next year.

 

Green finance” is the centerpiece of environmentally friendly green growth, encompassing the global focus

on reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Carbon emission rights are widely traded in Europe, while countries

around the world are stepping up efforts to establish a low carbon society. The Korean government also

plans to develop the green industry as a growth engine for the future. As a result, the nation’s first carbon

fund decided to invest in the solar power generation business, as green finance is taking off as a sweeping

trend in the country. Green finance,

which caters to the needs of the modern age, surely possesses unlimited growth potential.

The two-day conference will consist of lectures by distinguished scholars and discussions. I sincerely hope

that all participants will find the conference to be most rewarding and productive.

 

 

Thank you.
