Asian Investor is written for financial professionals and covers everything from pension reform to portable alpha .

It caters for institutional investors, the global- and hedge-funds community, and the service providers to these organisations.

No other publication can match its penetration of institutions and distributors or understanding of the changes taking place in the region's asset management.

Its readership encompasses senior managers and trustees from the largest government and corporate pension funds, insurance companies, bank treasuries and other investment bodies.

Launched in 2000 as a quarterly, Asian Investor 's frequency increased to bi-monthly in 2002.

Haymarket Media Group acquired it in January 2006, and within a year had repackaged it as a stand-alone monthly magazine, organised the first of its conferences and, in November, launched its website AsianInvestor.net .
