BOSTON, Jan. 31, 2012 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Attendees at Global
AgInvesting(SM) 2012, to be held at the Waldorf=Astoria in New York
City, April 23-25, will be privy to an exclusive presentation from
world-renowned international investor, author, and financial
commentator Jim Rogers, who will be the keynote speaker at this
premier agricultural investing conference.
Global AgInvesting will offer a comprehensive overview of
agriculture investment opportunities, risks and return profiles,
and strategies for diversified ag portfolios, bringing together
more ag investors than any conference in the world.
Rogers has been a source for investment advice and financial
strategy for decades and is frequently featured in The New York
Times, Fortune, The Wall Street Journal, The Financial Times and
other prominent news outlets, and also has been a regular
commentator and columnist in various media. He will present "How I
See the World Today and What I Am Doing About It," on April 24 and
remain at the conference that day, providing an unparalleled
opportunity for networking with this investment expert.
"Global AgInvesting draws more senior-level decision makers than
any agriculture investment series in the world, providing the
perfect audience to receive Rogers' thought and action-provoking
messages about the future of agricultural investment," said Greg
Mellinger, CEO of HighQuest Partners, host of the event. "Access to
the vision from this global investment authority is another way we
are providing our partners with the most current, cutting-edge
knowledge in the industry and unrivaled networking opportunities in
the sector."
Rogers, who graduated from Yale and Oxford Universities, co-founded
his first global-investment partnership, Quantum Fund, in 1973,
which was so successful that he was able to retire at age 37. His
newest index fund, The Rogers Global Resource Equity Index, focuses
on the top companies in agriculture, mining, metals and energy
sectors and those in the alternative energy space.
"The trend of investing in agriculture has already started. I can
foresee that more and more farmers will become rich and
agricultural commodity prices will continue to rise in the
long-term," said Rogers. "I think ag will be a great place for the
next 10-20 years. This conference is a reflection of the real money
at work in the space, as well as the increased interest from new
allocators."
