The GCC eBanking Forum will elaborate on how e-banking plays a significant role in the financial stability of an organization, region, or economy. As more and more people and organizations embrace e-banking, payment and settlement systems become more and more dependent on information systems such as computers and communication networks and bottlenecks in such systems, due to technical reasons — not economic or financial ones — could ignite unwanted chain reactions in the payment system and lead to serious financial disruptions.

Opal is proud to present our 7th Annual European CLO/CDO & Structured Products Summit. This event is designed to familiarize institutional investors with the world of collateral debt securities in the European markets while providing a forum where the broker/dealers, rating agencies, lawyers and accountants can learn new techniques to maximize profits in this lucrative area of Asset-Backed Finance. An in-depth review of recent regulatory changes, as well as rating agency methodology, legal, tax and structural considerations will provide attendees with the tools necessary to stay one step ahead of the curve. The conference will serve as a opportunity for meaningful dialogue to occur that addresses concerns regarding this dynamic segment of the market.

This conference will bring together institutional investment and private wealth management industry professionals from throughout North America and Europe for three days of engaging discussion on a wide range of common investment challenges and opportunities in both traditional and alternative investments. As we move forward, the ever-quickening pace of globalization compels investors and managers to continuously look beyond their own borders for innovative solutions to increasingly complex investment decisions. This event is a unique opportunity for meaningful exchange with colleagues from both sides of the Atlantic on a wide range of investing topics that are common to all who are charged with the management of institutional and sizable private assets.
