Developing the Right Asset Allocation and a Dynamic Method of Asset Mix Management in a Low-Return Environment
June 11^th - 13^th, 2006
The Monterey Plaza Hotel & Spa, Monterey, California

This is going to be an event that will truly facilitate the cross pollination of ideas across policies, strategies and industries. Be there!

Why? Because 2006 is expected to look much like 2005 with investors likely to encounter a low return environment. Unfortunately, most investors have set their return expectations based on double-digit returns. Therefore, to assure investor success, a conference focused on ways to achieve return expectations is of the utmost importance.

Financial Research Associates was developed this terrific event to highlight and showcase the most compelling and promising approaches currently being offered to endowments, foundations and pension funds.

The 3rd Annual Global Outsourcing Conference

January 26 to 27, 2006 • Doubletree Metropolitan Hotel

New York, New York

Global outsourcing entails identifying, evaluating, negotiating and configuring supply across multiple geographies to reduce costs, maximize performance and mitigate risks. Sourcing is also a cornerstone of total cost management (TCM), a technological and process framework for the optimal alignment, management and control of the total cost of ownership (TCO) of supply relationships.

The 3rd Annual Global Outsourcing Conference will focus on a mature market and the new processes-related topics such as Six Sigma and Capability Sourcing. The concerns are no longer “how do we do it,” but how can we improve on what we have. We will have presentations and discussions around such topics such as “is China the new India.” Also we discuss best practices from other industries, such as pharmaceuticals, that will give IT and manufacturing some next generation tools for a next generation market.

The New India - Investments in Outsourcing Technologies and Products in Asia

12:00 PM

Lower manufacturing costs and cheap labor has made Asia the major destination for business process outsourcing, relocating manufacturing, and acquiring new sales channels. Lately, investors have come to realize that Asia can also be a major source of truly unique technologies, products, services and a pool of talented entrepreneurs and CEOs that can compete globally. This session will examine where the opportunities are, when you should outsource or source to Asia and how to take advantage of these opportunities.
