ACVN Alternative Assets Event Sept26 2 Arcadia

ALTERNATIVE ASSETS SYMPOSIUM BY ARCADIA CONSULTING GROUP

14/09/2024

In today’s landscape of heightened volatility in traditional investments, the importance of diversification has never been more pressing. As market dynamics shift and global economies face mounting uncertainties, discerning investors are looking beyond the conventional. The Alternative Assets Symposium, hosted by Arcadia Consulting Group in collaboration with Vietnam Real Estate Investors Network (VREIN) and Sedona Suites Ho Chi Minh City, is a timely and strategic platform designed to explore the growing relevance of alternative assets. This is not about chasing trends; it is about recalibrating your investment approach in a changing world.

WHY ALTERNATIVE ASSETS MATTER—NOW MORE THAN EVER

The global investment landscape is transforming. Conventional asset classes—once reliable—are grappling with unpredictable headwinds, from economic slowdowns to fluctuating interest rates. Meanwhile, alternative assets like purpose-built student accommodation and senior living are quietly emerging as critical avenues for long-term growth. These assets are no longer fringe opportunities; they are becoming essential to the portfolios of those looking for stability, resilience, and long-term value.

Alternative assets come with their own complexities. The rise of these sectors requires a nuanced understanding of market trends, demographic shifts, and regulatory environments. Vietnam, characterized by its swift economic expansion and advantageous position in Southeast Asia, is gaining recognition as a market ripe with potentialities yet to be fully realized. The question is no longer whether to explore these opportunities—but what should be started so effectively.

MEET THE SPEAKERS

At the Alternative Assets Symposium, you will hear from two of the leading experts in real estate and alternative investments—each with decades of experience navigating both established and emerging markets.

Marc Townsend

Senior Advisor at Arcadia Consulting Group, Chairman of CBRE Cambodia and Independent Non-Executive Director of Vinpearl JSC

Marc Townsend will address the prospects for purpose-built student accommodation. With education hubs rapidly expanding in Southeast Asia, the demand for specialized housing has constantly outstripped supply. He will dissect this growing asset class, offering insights into its risk-return profile and how it can serve as a stable component in an increasingly uncertain portfolio.

Chia Boon Kuah

Senior Advisor at Arcadia Consulting Group, Former President of the Real Estate Developers Association of Singapore

Chia Boon Kuah will present on senior living and aging care—a sector often underestimated in Asia, yet one with massive untapped potential. As populations age across the region, the demand for high-quality elderly care facilities will only increase. Kuah will delve into the demographic, economic, and regulatory factors shaping this sector and offer practical insights on how investors and developers can responsibly and profitably participate in this growing market.

WHY ATTEND? 

The Alternative Assets Symposium is not designed to sell an overly optimistic vision of the future—it is grounded in reality. The opportunities in alternative assets are significant, but so are the challenges. What distinguishes successful investors is their capacity to comprehend both aspects of the equation. The event presents a unique opportunity to participate in a candid, in-depth dialogue regarding the essential strategies for entering and thriving in these dynamic markets.

WHY VIETNAM? 

As Vietnam continues to experience robust economic growth, it is increasingly becoming a focal point for investors seeking new frontiers in alternative assets. However, understanding the local regulatory framework, market demand, and cultural nuances necessitates thorough analysis and strategic planning. The insights gained at this symposium will help you make informed decisions regarding your upcoming initiatives in this promising market.

A THOUGHTFUL APPROACH TO INVESTMENT STRATEGY

This Alternative Assets Symposium is tailored for investors, developers, and industry leaders looking to deepen their understanding of alternative assets while steering clear of the risks associated with speculative investments. This presents a chance to engage with thought leaders who have seen the market evolve and are prepared to offer practical, actionable insights—not overly optimistic projections.

For those committed to strategically positioning your portfolio for the future, the event is where you need to be. This is an invitation to reassess your investment approach, focusing on a realistic perspective of where the potential gains and pitfalls genuinely exist. Spaces are limited.
