The Aviation Investival : Hong Kong

Sep 5, 2018

Sheraton Hong Kong Hotel & Towers, Hong Kong

Ishka’s new, interactive conference series "The Aviation Investival" gets underway in Hong Kong this week, with a stellar line-up of institutional investors!

East Asia and Australia are a hotbed of wealth and underemployed capital. The Asian capital markets are predicted to finance more new aircraft deliveries, for both onshore and offshore issuers, as traditional bank markets struggle to absorb the amount of financing required. Boeing forecasts there will be USD153 billion of new aircraft deliveries in 2019 alone.

Ishka’s inaugural Hong Kong conference is the only dedicated aviation event in the region focused on the capital markets, delivering an exceptional opportunity to meet and hear from institutional investors, insurance companies, pension funds, family offices and senior representatives from the wider aviation finance community.

Meet and connect with the following investors

✪ China Cinda ✪ Ping An ✪ AIA ✪ China Life ✪ BOC Life
✪ China Re ✪ CNIC ✪ China Taiping ✪ NSW Holdings ✪ CTCB
✪ Manulife ✪ Sun Hung Kai & Co ✪ KB Securities
✪ Singapore Consortium of Investment Management
✪ Mirae Asset Management ✪ The Hong Kong Jockey Club
✪ Davidson Kempner ✪ Arkkan Capital

We know that time out of the office is precious, so we’ve built a new event App to supercharge your conference experience!

“Great opportunity to interact with professionals from the investment community and develop new and valuable new contacts." Patrick Den Elzen, Managing Director, Arena Aviation Capital

Willing to tread new ground, introduce new concepts and focus on thought provoking content. Great forum for moving past the bland, sanitized offerings that have become the norm on the conference circuit.”

Ishka has successfully moved away from the traditional conference format, creating an environment which allows for genuine debate on key issues. The level of participation, both in terms of the attendees and their engagement clearly shows that Ishka have hit the mark.”
