2012 found the Middle East in the midst of a great transition, with investors of the region facing the challenge of balancing risk and return on a global political and economic stage. Never before has the investment and wealth management community faced so much uncertainty and so much potential for gain.

To greet this ‘brave new world’ in 2012 MIMF brought global and regional investment strategies and opportunities to the top of the agenda, creating a unique event to bring together: institutional investors, private banks, wealth and asset managers, product providers and HNWIs.
