|Program Summary |

|This year's Asian Pension Fund Roundtable focuses on the leaders and the strides forward they have made in their efforts to deepen the|

|region's capital markets and stabilize financial markets. Pension managers are in the vanguard, both meeting the challenges of today |

|and preparing for the demands of the future. Themes central to their work are: the develoment of robust equity and bond markets; the |

|socio-economic impact of aging; navigating a variety of policy environments; and the need to match investment strategies to current |

|and future liabilities. |

|Pension funds function at the crossroads of these challenges. This year's Roundtable explores the theme of pension leadership. The |

|broader discussions about Asia's capital markets are anchored by the keynotes and panel discussions. The workshops provide |

|participants with the opportunity to take an in-depth look at how pensions around the world are addressing the same challenges. |
