As the global economy continues to recover new opportunities are arising and one of the most exciting areas for local investors in Australia currently is the fixed income market.

Initiatives such as the Government guarantee scheme are improving both local and international investor confidence which has become evident through the increasing uptake of Kangaroo (Matilda) and inflation-linked bonds.

Other active themes such as the future of corporate ratings and the possible come back of structured credit are also now at the forefront of institutional investor's agendas.

With this in mind, this year Asia Risk & Pacific Prospect is introducing a brand new event to its calendar - the Australian Fixed Income forum 2010 - which will be held on Thursday 29 April, The Westin, Sydney.

Delegates attending this Forum will gain a unique insight into the latest developments in the local financial markets and be able to take part in dynamic seminars where they will hear insights from the markets leading practitioners into how best to capture the opportunities and navigate the challenges of this vibrant investment class.

If you are a professional working in a superannuation/pension fund, corporate, insurance company, bank, asset/investment management company this event is not to be missed.
