Edgar Perez, The Speed Traders Workshop 2012, Featured in The New York Times on High-Frequency Trading Regulation

Leave a comment

Edgar Perez, the author of “The Speed Traders: An Insider’s Look at the New High-Frequency Trading Phenomenon That Is Transforming the Investing World” and the forthcoming “Knightmare on Wall Street: Do Facebook’s Botched IPO and Knight Capital’s Technology Error Mark the Beginning of the End of Equities Investing?,” featured in The New York Times’ Room for Debate, with “Don’t Ban the Trades; Regulate Them in Real Time”.

New York City, NY, USA (August 7, 2012) — Edgar Perez, author of The Speed Traders, and former McKinsey & Co. consultant and New York University Adjunct Professor, was featured in The New York Times’ Room for Debate opinion page on How to Regulate High-Frequency Trading, alongside other recognized experts on the subjects of speed trading and regulation. Perez is currently presenting The Speed Traders Workshop 2012, How High Frequency Traders Leverage Profitable Strategies to Find Alpha in Equities, Options, Futures and FX (The Speed Traders Workshop 2012), in a number of cities around the world, including Moscow, Shanghai, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Ho Chi Minh, New York, Chicago, Dubai and London.

In his article, “Don’t Ban the Trades; Regulate Them in Real Time”, Perez argued that wrongdoing in financial markets has existed long before the advent of high-frequency trading, and it would always be a part of markets. High-frequency trading is simply a tool, he said; it can be positive or negative for investors and markets. To maximize the benefit and minimize the downsides, regulators need to catch up with the technology.

“High-frequency trading has been under a microscope since the infamous ‘flash crash’ in 2010. Let’s remember, though: The market rebounded that day almost as fast as it fell, and regulators ultimately determined that the crash was initiated by human error. But many in the financial sector and in government were uncomfortable at the thought that high-frequency trading programs could vaporize huge amounts of equity in a matter of minutes.”

Perez concluded that real-time policing for potential malfeasance was the most efficient way to regulate high-frequency trading. Analysis of real-time data would provide for effective regulation of these trades. This in turn would provide peace of mind for market participants big and small.

Mr. Perez is widely regarded as the preeminent global expert in the specialized area of high-frequency trading. He is author of The Speed Traders, An Insider’s Look at the New High-Frequency Trading Phenomenon That is Transforming the Investing World, published in English by McGraw-Hill Inc. (2011), in Mandarin by China Financial Publishing House (2012) and currently being translated into Bahasa Indonesia and Portuguese, and the forthcoming Knightmare on Wall Street: Do Facebook’s Botched IPO and Knight Capital’s Technology Error Mark the Beginning of the End of Equities Investing?. He is course director of The Speed Traders Workshop 2012, How High Frequency Traders Leverage Profitable Strategies to Find Alpha in Equities, Options, Futures and FX (Hong Kong, Sao Paulo, Seoul, Kuala Lumpur, Warsaw, Kiev, New York, Singapore, Beijing, Shanghai, Jakarta, London, Mexico City, Moscow, Ho Chi Minh, New York, Dubai and Chicago), and was Adjunct Professor at the Polytechnic Institute of New York University, where he taught Algorithmic Trading and High-Frequency Finance. He contributes regularly to China’s International Finance News.

Mr. Perez has been interviewed on CNBC Cash Flow, CNBC Squawk Box, BNN Business Day, CCTV China, Bankier.pl, TheStreet.com, Leaderonomics, GPW Media, Channel NewsAsia Business Tonight and Cents & Sensibilities. In addition, Mr. Perez has been featured on Caixin, Futures Daily, Xinhua, CBN Newswire, Chinese Financial News, ifeng.com, International Finance News, hexun.com, Finance.QQ.com, Finance.Sina.com, The Korea Times, The Korea Herald, The Star, BMF 89.9, iMoney Hong Kong, CNBC, Bloomberg Hedge Fund Brief, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Dallas Morning News, Valor Econômico, FIXGlobal Trading, TODAY Online, Oriental Daily News and Business Times.

AAA Welcomes Report into Pensions Investing in Alternatives

Leave a comment

AAA has welcomed new research from Towers Watson consultancy, which found that pension funds are still putting more and more of their funds into alternative investments.

Boston, MA, USA, August 6, 2012 — Alternative Asset Analysis (AAA) has welcomed new research from Towers Watson consultancy, which found that pension funds are still putting more and more of their funds into alternative investments.

The survey found that there has been a 7.9 per cent rise in the total pension fund assets under management by the top 100 asset managers. The total sum is now $1.03 trillion, up from $951.7 billion in 2010.

The rise is partly due to the fact that the survey now includes figures from insurers, foundations, endowments and sovereign wealth funds. Much of the assets under management are being invested in alternatives such as hedge funds and private equity, according to Towers Watson.

A spokesman for Towers Watson, Craig Baker, said, “Our client base is quite different today from when we started this survey. We do a lot of work with insurance companies, sovereign wealth funds and endowments.”

AAA’s analysis partner, Anthony Johnson said that these latest figures show that institutional investors are increasingly looking towards alternatives to diversify their portfolios and offset the impact of inflation. He stated, “We are seeing an increase in interest in alternatives with individuals and institutional investors realizing in their droves that alternatives can offer a wise option.”

AAA claims that individual investors are now “spoiled for choice” when it comes to interesting alternatives asset classes that can offer a hedge against inflation and a less risky investment than the equity markets. “Timberland is one of the best-performing alternatives,” added Mr Johnson.

“Investing directly in timberland through the kind of schemes run by Greenwood Management in Brazil, for example, ensures people get something tangible in exchange for their investment.”

“Not only this, but timberland returns on investment have typically outperformed equities over a number of years and can offer a good long-term investment option for people looking for a pension investment.”

About Alternative Asset Analysis:
The remit of Alternative Asset Analysis is to analyse and provide news on the global performance of a wide range of alternative asset classes including, but not restricted to, commodities, real estate, forestry, foreign exchange, hedge funds, private equity and venture capital.

AAA welcomes Expansion of Unique wine investment scheme

Leave a comment

A UK-based online wine investment firm has expanded into Australia and the US, in a move that has been welcomed by AAA.

Boston, MA, August 06, 2012 – A UK-based online wine investment firm has expanded into Australia and the US, in a move that has been welcomed by Alternative Asset Analysis (AAA).

The Naked Wine offering differs quite a lot from other wine investment funds, as customers can help to choose which small winemakers the firm invests in. They become ‘Angel’ investors to help these small and niche winemakers produce more wine, and they receive bottles in return.

These bottles can, due to their rarity, become quite valuable – making the whole process a realistic option for alternative investors looking to diversify their portfolios, claims AAA. The alternative investment advocacy group supports a wide range of alternative asset classes and claims that wine is fast-becoming a popular option for many people who want something tangible in return for their investments.

The latest move from Naked Wines will see the firm invest more than $7 million in independent US and Australian wine producers. The Angels commit to investing small amount each month and receive a discount off the regular price of the wines produced in return.

AAA’s analysis partner, Anthony Johnson, said, “The Naked Wines brand had a good way of engaging investors by encouraging them to get involved in social networking and discussion forums. The fact that they even have the opportunity to choose where the investments go is also a major perk.”

AAA claims that more and more people are becoming interested in alternative investments in response to the global economic crisis and the general volatility of the equity markets.

Forestry investment is one of the main areas of interest for AAA. It claims that investing in sustainable plantations run by firms like Greenwood Management in Brazil and elsewhere is an ethical option and one that can generate generous returns. Forestry investment also helps to boost habitat for wildlife, claimed Mr Johnson.

Luxury Travel Ltd. to Promote the Golden Central Coast of Vietnam

Luxury Travel Unveils “Discover The Golden Central Coast of Vietnam in Luxury Style in 10 days

Hanoi, Vietnam, August 07, 2012 – This newest tour lasts 10 days which helps visitors to see the top highlights of Central Vietnam (including Danang – Hoi An – Hue – Quang Binh), discover new destinations , stay in the newest and trendiest hotels and resorts, as well as experience the finest cuisine.

Vietnam has always had extraordinary charm, in part because of the French colonial influence still evident throughout much of the country. Its jaw dropping scenery, fabulous food and friendly locals all contribute to the country’s appeal to travelers. But in recent times the destination’s luxury offerings have also had great appeal, due to new luxe hotels, beautiful resorts and world class golf courses, especially in Central Vietnam. Danang now has a new International airport and launched direct international flights throughout Asia, which has given a boost to local tourism. This makes movement in the central area much easier than it had been previously.

This tour focuses on local life and food. Starting in Hanoi or Saigon, visitors will then fly directly to Danang International Airport. From here, they will gradually access each spot of the central area with the help of an experienced guide and, along with local experts, they will discover the most charming aspects of each destination.

“The Golden Central Coast of Vietnam boasts a rich mix of attractions. Besides the stunning beaches, sumptuous resorts and golf links, there are numerous UNESCO accredited cultural heritage sites, including the centuries-old former port town of Hoi An, once an international hub for merchants in Asia. There is also the former imperial city of Hue (home to the throne of the Nguyen Dynasty from 1802-1945) and the My Son ruins, the spiritual home of the Kingdom of Champa, dubbed the “Valley of Kings” by French archaeologists. There are also mountain retreats, the Vinh Moc tunnels and the natural wonders of Phong Nha Ke Bang National Park, making this trip one with something to offer for everyone.” said Pham Ha, Founder and CEO of Luxury Travel Ltd.

The tour price starts from US$2,445 per person. Accommodations for two people are in twin, shared rooms at luxury five-star hotels. Price includes all transportation, return domestic flights from either Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City, meals, entrance fees, boat trips and the services of an English-speaking guide. This offer is valid until 30 December 2012.

“One of the attractions of this tour is that visitors will visit colonial sites by Jeep. They will also experience street food with an expert in local cuisine. Each region of Vietnam has different flavors of food, but the central region really offers something that cannot be compared with any other type of food in the world. Central Vietnam has a wide array of activities and landscapes that appeal to a mix of travelers, including tropical beaches, post-colonial towns, world heritage sites, top cuisine and more. Each tour is designed with flexibility to suit travelers’ personal interest, schedule and energy level.” said Hong Linh, Marketing Executive at Luxury Travel Ltd.

The Central Coast of Vietnam Attracts Luxe MICE Travelers

Leave a comment

Vietnam is an emerging destination for the MICE sector, as Luxury Travel (www.luxurytravelvietnam.com) targets MICE groups.

Hanoi, Vietnam, August 05, 2012 – Vietnam is an emerging destination for the MICE sector, as Luxury Travel (www.luxurytravelvietnam.com) targets MICE groups.

Vietnam is recognized as a good destination for MICE. The tourism industry, especially luxury hotels and airlines, have had success in promoting Vietnam’s new MICE venues.

“Vietnam is for everyone and all sizes of MICE events can be held in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and Central Vietnam (Hue, Danang, Hoi An). The international standard hotel in Central Vietnam has modern conference facilities, resort and meeting rooms and a variety of attractions suiting all tastes. This can include trips for nature and culture lovers, golfers, health and spa enthusiasts, and aficionados of fine cuisine. Further, the Central Coast of Vietnam has more varied products to offer the MICE market than Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi,” said Pham Ha, founder and CEO of Luxury Travel Ltd.

The central coast is growing in stature as one the hottest tourist spots in Southeast Asia with a variety of attractions. With a string of top-class resorts and golf courses opening, the region has been steadily growing in stature as one of the hottest tourist spots in the country and Southeast Asia but the arrival of a new international standard airport with links to multiple cities in China, Singapore and routes to Bangkok and Hong Kong set to open soon will help put Danang on the global map.

“We need to promote Vietnam as a preferred destination for both domestic and international MICE travels. We will foster closer and more effective partnerships between the private and government sectors. This will help build Vietnam’s ability to compete internationally in the long term,” explained Ha.

Luxury Travel opened its Danang office to tap tourism boom in Central Coast of Vietnam. MICE planners can go to www.luxurytravelvietnam.com for inspiration and options for successful meeting incentive conference and exhibition trips.

Toenail fungus is a common fungal infection that can often be painful, caused by pathogens that enter the skin through tiny cuts or separations between the nail and nail bed. The affected nails appear thickened and turn a yellow, light brown or cloudy color. The surrounding area can also become red and swollen.
