AARIA ROUND TABLE 2014

Tuesday 9 September 2014 in Brisbane

We operate in the area of "real returns" and are eager to help our network of IFA's that operate outside the traditional static buy and hold methodology. This has led me to meeting the Association of Real Return Investment Advisers (ARRIA).

The Group has been established as a not-for-profit entity run by advisers for advisers. ARRIA is an initiative based on feedback and insights from advisers regarding the challenges that they face in using Real Return investment strategies, which they believe are able to deliver tangible solutions to meet their client's objectives.

ARRIA is hosting a round table discussion on Tuesday 9 September, from 12pm to 4.30pm, in Brisbane and offers a valuable opportunity to meet with likeminded advisers. The agenda for the round table is as follows:

Round Table 1: Agenda

• What are the implications of developing Real Return outcomes for PI and the regulators?
• Panel discussion - which alternative "strategies" work when?
• Panel discussion - what are the new investment opportunities, "access" methods (e.g. LICs), strategies, asset classes and investment flavours?
• Tool time
• Open Forum
