AFD 2024 AGENDA

The panel of leading experts will explore the fast-evolving world of Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs). Having grown in popularity during the last two decades the ETFs offer an exposure to diversified class of assets, markets and geographies. This makes ETFs quite unique in providing faster and broader access to new emerging markets, unlike more conventional mutual funds. Could AIFC and Kazakhstan become a next destination for ETF products and what are the challenges in context of geopolitics?   Attendees will deep dive into various aspects of ETFs: latest trends shaping the landscape from thematic investing to the integration of innovative technologies like AI and blockchain; the opportunities ETFs present for diversified investment portfolios; examination of the risks involved, including market risks and regulatory challenges.

Analysts estimate that the global cryptocurrency market will more than triple by 2030. This all leads to one big trend. Cryptocurrency, once only understood among a relatively fringe community of anti-establishment investors, is now becoming a household name – and quickly. In this fireside chat the interview will focus on the future of crypto and the way some countries are transiting to DeFi, what opportunities and challenges it presents.
