On 27 September 2011, New York was once again host to Euromoney’s Real Return conference. Now in its fifth year this event, dedicated to inflation linked products, united a group of the leading market players including investors, issuers and financial intermediaries from across North America. The focus of this year’s event surrounded the current economic turmoil in the US and how this affects the future of the TIPS market.

Keynote interview with Matthew Rutherford |
Inflation experts were keen to discuss the recent investment opportunities being created and the challenges for the year ahead. With inflation bursting out across the globe, discussion focused on investor demand for TIPS and how diversifying your portfolio could lead to greater returns.
Matthew Rutherford, the deputy assistant secretary for federal finance at the US Treasury opened the one-day conference with an overview of the Treasury’s debt management programme for the coming year. This frank yet positive address was followed by a series of high-level panels and sponsor-led workshops discussing issues from commodity price pressures to managing pension plans.
This conference continues to grow from strength to strength proving that inflation remains a key concern from the American economy. We look forward to reconvening in September 2012 to discuss the latest developments in this exciting market.
