The Asia Pacific Association for Fiduciary Studies (APAFS), together with the Trust Officers Association of the Philippines (TOAP), aims to bring the biggest investment conference yet in the Asia Pacific region as the 11th Annual Pacific Region Investment Conference kicks off on October 20 and 21 barely after the Accredited Investment Fiduciary® Training on October 18 and 19.
APAFS and TOAP, through the PRIC, envision creating the financial and investment arena into a progressive niche for world-class fiduciaries. For this reason, the 11th PRIC seeks to promote its goal by having a back-to-back fiduciary event with the fi360™ AIF® Training.
“As ‘Guardians of Trusts’, we need to ensure that we secure the assets we are entrusted to protect with the same intensity we would secure our personal assets. The Asia Pacific Association for Fiduciary Studies is the regional resource to help achieve this goal,” says APAFS Chairman Gerard Cruz
Through TOAP’s partnership with APAFS, which is further manifested through the 11th PRIC, their aim to unite, professionalize and promote the Philippine Trust and Investment Management Industry is being strengthened.
