Ladies and gentlemen, 

 

I would like to welcome you to the 11th Seoul International Derivatives & Alternative Investments

Conference. I would also like to give special thanks to the Financial Services Committee, Financial

Supervisory Service, Korea Exchange, Koscom, Korea Financial Investment Association, Korea

Securities Finance Corporation and Korea Securities Depository and many financial services companies

for their sponsoring this event.

 

You can hardly find a two-day international conference on derivatives & alternative investments in Korea.

The time the Financial News first hosted this event 11 years ago was right after first trading index futures

and subsequently treasury bond futures had begun. Despite rollercoaster rides since 2003, the futures

markets have grown dramatically in depth as well as in breadth. Our conference has been able to position

as a major event, to cover even alternative investments in its panels since last year. 

 

People on the main street tend to recall speculative trades like taking advantage of wild volatility in won/dollar

rates. However, it’s almost impossible without derivatives to design return-risk mix to fit many diverse

investors when interest rates are historically low and stocks are drifting sideways. It’s absurd to give up

driving a car because it is perilous.One had better drive defensively with casualty insurance. Derivatives

have a number of uses in structured products and/or hedging strategies.

 

The main theme of this year’s conference is ‘Evolving Asian Markets & New Frontiers for Growth.’ On the

day one of the conference, the issues of global economy such as U.S.’s exit strategy will bereviewed

primarily and Asian derivatives markets later. On the day two, better alternative investment strategies in

the uncertain world will be discussed.

 

Distinguished guests,

 

The government of President Park adopted ‘creative economy’ as the top priority in its policy agenda.

At the core of the concept lies innovation. One cannot emphasize the importance of innovation in the

financial services business too much. Derivatives are essential ingredients in designing structured products.

Korea has already gained global competitiveness in the exchange-traded futures and options markets.

Be it traditional stocks and bonds, or alternative assets like real properties, private equities and etc. One

cannot stop attempting to try to satisfy clients’ needs. We hope the conference will servefor the purpose.

 

The steaming weather is almost gone and the season of bearing fruit is near. We hope you all harvest the

plenty from your hard work. Thank you.

 



Seong C. Gweon, Ph.D.

President & CEO 

The Financial News
