Over the past 14 years, the world has faced several tough challenges, including an economic recession in 2008 and the ferocious COVID-19.
Remarkably, the Annual Investment Meeting AIM is one of the global entities that have chosen, instead of crying over spilled milk, to collaborate with all other stakeholders in the international economic arena to address the global economic challenges – effectively and head-on!
Since day one, more than a decade ago, AIM has been endeavoring to bring together all stakeholders in a joint effort to ignite positive economic transformation worldwide by creating investment opportunities, upholding solidarity, and developing economic relations among nations, as well as addressing the global ordeals that will make a profound impact on global economic growth.
Interestingly AIM continues the journey with the 11th edition of the Annual Investment Meeting, which will be held on 29 - 31 March 2022 at the Dubai Exhibition Center, EXPO 2020 Dubai. The theme of this year’s event will be ‘Investments in Sustainable Innovation for a Thriving Future’, and will focus mainly on boosting investments towards sustainability and innovation through several activities under 6 Pillars:
- FOREIGN PORTFOLIO INVESTMENT FPI
- FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT FDI
- SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES SMEs
- STARTUPS
- FUTURE CITIES
- The 50 PROJECTS INITIATIVE.
With this in mind, what about the Foreign Portfolio Investment FPI pillar?
AIM & Foreign Portfolio Investment FPI
Let’s zoom in on the global FPI landscape. For Institutional Investors, Sovereign Wealth Funds, Venture Capitalists, Investment Funds, Angel Investors, Private Equity Funds, Corporate Venture Funds, Development Funds, Impact Funds, Pension Funds, Banks, and Financial Institutions, among others, AIM is the right place to achieve, deliver and thrive!
The AIM Pillar empowers this broad array of investors to engage in international diversification of their portfolio assets - which, in turn, helps them achieve a higher risk-adjusted return.
Also, the AIM Pillar, on the other hand, will help governments improve their respective countries' capital account position and link global FPI investors with their local business organizations by attracting investments in terms of stocks and bonds.
All in all, the AIM Pillar is the world’s leading forum that bridges the widening gap in investment flow by securing a myriad of assets.
That being the case, it’s important now to shed light upon the numerous benefits and advantages that AIM provides to FPI investors.
