The New York Society of Security Analysts Conferen

NEW YORK, N.Y., June 12, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via PRWEB - An expert panel of investment professionals will give the audience a true insiders' view of the mechanics of investing and balancing unique risk and reward factors in Latin America at NYSSA's Latin American Capital Markets Conference on June 25, 2014. The panel features speakers who have been ahead of the curve in the burgeoning Latin American investment field.

By now, any serious global investor recognizes the tremendous economic potential of Latin America and the significant strides many of its countries have made over the past decades. The only questions that remain for potential investors are what distinguish Latin America from other developing markets? What investment vehicles are most appropriate? What are the risk factors and how do you quantify them? Those interested in fixed income, private and public equity, or highly-structured vehicles such as project finance, will hear from experts who have successfully delivered returns from these investments in Latin America.

Speakers include:

• Sarah Alexander, Managing Director, The Abraaj Group
