Global Asset Allocation conference to be held in Bahrain on 29th November

Abdulmohsin Al Omran, CEO of The Family Office Co., BSC (c) stated that the Company is hosting its fourth annual Global Asset Allocation conference for the year ahead to address major merchant families from the Gulf region that meet on annual basis at this event with experts from top financial institutions to exchange ideas about asset allocation.

Other speakers that will be participating in a panel discussion to address the subject "The World in 2020" are Thomas Frey, Senior Futurist and Executive Director, DaVinci Institute, Inc.; Thomas Stolper, Senior Economist, Global Markets, Currencies, Goldman Sachs; and Richard Sharp, Advisory Director, Goldman Sachs International.

One of Thomas Frey's most important topics is The City of the Future, where Frey predicts the city of the future will be designed around eight dimensions of human connectedness, connecting great people with great ideas. Cities that focus on these eight dimensions will find that the resulting alignment of human capital will make community problem solving far easier.

The conference will also provide the sophisticated investors with some insight into forthcoming economic and investment trends in the upcoming year, by listening to international experts from a variety of institutions and disciplines to discuss their views in an open forum.

The topic "Global Market Outlook" will be presented by Paul Marson who is a Managing Director and Chief Investment Officer at Morgan Stanley Private Wealth Management, Europe, Middle East & Asia. An insight on the "Eastern European Property Market" will be addressed by Neil Crowder, a Managing Partner of Chayton Capital LLP. As for available "Opportunities from the Property Cycle in Asia", this will be a topic of discussion for Franklin Lam, Managing Director UBS Global Asset Management. George Hall, the Chairman and CEO of Clinton Group, will focus on "The Importance of Sharpe Ratios and Structuring a Product with Different Risk Levels".

The full day event is expected to once again offer an exceptional opportunity to bring together investors and speakers from diverse backgrounds to share and debate their views. Following on from the standards set at its previous conferences, The Family Office Co. looks forward to providing attendees with unique market insights and themes that can be expected to arise and develop in the coming year, as a number of these when previously presented, were later realized in the months that followed.
