Prime Minister designate Benjamin Netanyahu is due to open the STEP (Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners) Jerusalem Wealth Management Conference on March 25. Netanyahu is expected to talk about his new government’s commitment to the economic stability of the region, and to use the event to launch his program for economic peace.
The Jerusalem Wealth Management Conference will discuss issues faced today by individuals, families and companies wishing to invest in the Israeli and Palestinian economies. The speakers will include representatives of the Bank of Israel, Ministry of Trade, the International Monetary Fund, the Association of Banks in Palestine, the US Embassy in Israel, the new Israel-Palestinian Chamber of Commerce, and the PalTel Group.
The conference will be held in English at Jerusalem's David Citadel Hotel. It will be attended by high-net-worth investors and international institutions and their Israel-based financial and legal advisors.
The event is being hosted by STEP and organized by Fortress Capital Management, whose Middle East Chairman Dylan Shub says, “We believe that this event will provide unparalleled opportunities to look beyond divisive politics and instead explore exciting commercial and financial ventures which are of economic benefit to all.”
