Stamford, CT & Monaco, April 02, 2010 -- Portfolio Manager & Director for CI Investments, Gordon "Grant" Curtis, to give keynote address on the rise and challenges of investing in the East hosted in Monaco, April 20-21st, 2010. Under a billion Euro allocation mandate, Mr. Curtis has used organized market instrument and proprietary private equity investment strategies to rank CI as one of the top performers among its peers since 2005 never having posted a 12 month period with less than double-digit returns.

In addition to the keynote address on investment opportunities in the East, Mr. Curtis will be a panelist on other related subjects with particular emphasis on Family Office capital deployment opportunities. He is also currently authoring a book as the Definitive Guide for Family Office Organizations where he shares his years of hands on experience to the forefront.

Integral to Mr. Curtisâ€â„¢ unique portfolio management approach is his targeted view on simplicity. "When possible, make it short and sweet and to the point" states Mr. Curtis. "Years of experience with complex trading instruments that few really understand has brought back the popularity of mainstream investing into tangible and necessary sectors with higher participation by the average investor. People who are the investing public are beginning to realize that they want a hand in their financial destinies as opposed to lack of understanding about what they are investing into."

Family offices now lead the performance and business trend in many areas of investment and can often be regarded as the leaders in change for the new economies. Realizing that there is no comfort or certainty with some of the world powerhouses paves the way for either fear of the coming changes or greed fueled by the opportunity of new investment dimensions.

Asia, among other emerging regions of the world, have some unique and different obstacles for participation and benefit, yet possess the potential to be some of the largest growth opportunities ever seen in the last century. From minerals to fossil fuels to reclaimed farmland, there is a broad spectrum of direct projects as well as corporate participation by multi nationals looking to expand in these regions.

Campden Conferences is one of the leaders in the renowned family office events and offers a forum for private investment identification and discussion like no other.
