2017 Global Investor Week

4th and 5th November are two very important dates to remember. It is when Capital Dynamics will hold Day 1 and Day 2 of the 2017 Global Investor Week. Revamped from the previously known “Investor Day”, this year we bring you the 2017 Global Investor Week, to be held at KLCC. As previously announced, Asia’s most innovative investment week is split from the AGM of icapital.biz Berhad.

A key objective of the 2017 Global Investor Week is to allow the participants to critically re-examine and discuss fundamental truths and assumptions about life, economics, and investments, and to arrive at new findings and conclusions. The many talks delivered by a good array of speakers on Saturday and Sunday, 4th and 5th November, will advise participants on how and what can be done for one to benefit from these new discoveries, which have been arrived at based on careful and thorough research and analysis.

Day 1, 4th November

We all talk with admiration about China’s marvellous growth and development; many worry about China’s banking system, property sector and surplus capacity. In all these, we make, either implicitly or explicitly, a critical assumption about China’s political stability. Can we ? Should we ? China’s stupendous growth and development over the last 4 decades have been built upon China’s no less remarkable political stability. Over the last 4 decades, China has seen smooth and easy changes in political leadership; over the last 4 decades, China has seen good and effective leaders being selected again and again. How does China do it ?

In Day 1 of the 2017 Global Investor Week, Daniel A Bell, Dean of the School of Political Science and Public Administration at Shandong University and professor at Tsinghua University, will share his fascinating insights on how the Communist Party of China selects good leaders. A rare talk on a very important topic.

Why is Professor Bell’s talk so vitally important for you as an investor, a senior manager or a businessman ? Tan Teng Boo is convinced that president Xi Jinping is as brilliant as Chairman Mao and Deng Xiaoping and Xi Jinping is the right leader for China at the right time. If the Communist Party of China is not able to continuously select good leaders, China’s growth and development will sputter and this will lead to extremely nasty consequences for all of us. Professor Bell’s talk will enable you to discover new truths and critically re-examine your assumptions about China and the global economy and these will allow you to form more accurate expectations about China and the world in the coming years.

Tan Teng Boo will also be talking on Day 1 at the KLCC and will present one of the most original research findings on China’s 5,000 year history and what this means for the future, in terms of China’s economy, her stock market and the global economy. Tan Teng Boo will share with you why China’s growth and development will continue for many more decades to come and he will share with you how you can handsomely benefit from this spectacular “Once-in-a-millennium transformation”. Tan Teng Boo will overturn many of the long-held, conventional assumptions about China’s history, economic growth and stock market. Come with your minds really open.

4th November, Day 1 of the 2017 Global Investor Week will also see another breath-taking talk – Dr Aubrey de Grey will talk on anti-ageing. Dr Aubrey de Grey is a world renowned gerontologist, that is, a scientist who studies the ways people grows old and why this happens. He obtained his PhD from Cambridge University. Dr de Grey argues that ageing is merely a disease and is actually a curable one. He says human beings age in seven basic ways, all of which can be averted as he discovered plenty of evidence to show that ageing is caused by what he has termed as the seven deadly things. To be very clear, Dr de Grey is not talking about living long in an unhealthy manner, like with a wheelchair or taking high blood pressure pills every day. He is talking about living very long but healthily. Come, listen to him, re-examine your notion about life and death, revisit your assumptions about savings or investing for your retirement, and allow him to scientifically and objectively question “fundamental truths” for you.

As Tan Teng Boo has said many times, the real excitement and life-changing impact from China’s transformation is not in the past 68 years, the real excitement is in the next 68 years and beyond. Find out from Tan Teng Boo why China has always been the “Master of infrastructure investment”, why China has for a very long time been a peace-cherishing nation, why China’s transformation will give rise to a more peaceful and better world. As Teng Boo chips in with his economic interpretation of China’s journey, Day 1 will also see Professor Bell chipping in on the political aspects of China’s journey.

In short, 4th November, Day 1 of The 2017 Global Investor Week will simply be like no other investment event.

Day 2, 5th November

Day 2 of the 2017 Global Investor Week will be packed with talks focusing on Malaysia, ASEAN and of course on value investing.

Tan Teng Boo will deliver a 60-minute candid assessment of the economic and political challenges facing Malaysia. Looking beyond just the Ringgit, the KLSE, and the next 12 months, he will discuss what the impact will be from the multi-dimensional threats posed by the many disruptive technologies, the worsening fluidity in Malaysian politics and a global community that has seen Trump Donald, Brexit, AfD, and more.

There will also be a highly fascinating 2-hour Roundtable discussion focusing on the ASEAN economies and their stock markets. The heads of research from leading stockbroking firms in Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines and Vietnam will share with the participants their views of their respective countries. Conducted in English, the ASEAN Roundtable discussion will be moderated by the CEO of Capital Dynamics and this session is expected to be highly interactive.

Besides ASEAN, there will be an update on the current condition of the major economies and stock markets. What does the present monetary tightening by the US Federal Reserve mean for financial markets and your investments ?

One of the key attractions of Day 2 will be the never ending insightful talk on icapital.biz Berhad and the power of compounding via value investing. When Dr de Grey is right and when you live for another 125 years (a conservative estimate), your investment of RM10,000 now will be worth RM402,295 at a 3% annual compound return, RM14.562 million at a 6% compound rate and a whopping RM14.198 billion compounding at 12% (the NAV of icapital.biz Berhad has been compounding around 12% per annum).
