Tuesday is the opening of the main conference. After the emerging market and distribution summits on Monday, the morning session on Tuesday typically brings together a selection of CEOs and other leaders.

I have the pleasure of doing this year’s thought leadership fireside chat with Tim McCarthy, CEO for Nikko Asset Management, and Vijay Advani, vice-chair of Franklin Templeton.

Before us is the Editor-in-Chief of the Economist, who sets the global stage politically. For the first time in Monaco, after 21 years, we provide a “View from Asia” and what it means for the developed world from an investment and distribution standpoint.

My afternoon consists of business luncheons, meetings, journalists and a team with the dinner.

Stay tuned for a research study on the view from Asia in the coming days.
