Follow on Google News | Petronas Going for the Kill with $5B Canada Acquisition, as Traders Gear up for Kuala LumpurEdgar Perez, Author, The Speed Traders, Speaker at The Speed Traders Workshop 2012 Kuala Lumpur: How High Frequency Traders Leverage Profitable Strategies to Find Alpha in Equities, Options, Futures and FX, April 12
Petronas joins Asian companies including PetroChina Co., Mitsubishi Corp. and CNOOC Ltd. in seeking to add North American production, where gas sells for less than 15 per cent of Asian benchmark prices. The biggest Asian investment in the Canadian oilpatch was Sinopec's $4.7-billion purchase of ConocoPhillips' stake in Syncrude Canada in 2010. One risk Petronas and others don't appear to worry about is Investment Canada. Prime Minister Stephen Harper has led a pair of trade missions to Asia already this year that have focused largely on increasing energy ties. On the latest mission, International Trade Minister Ed Fast surprised no one when he said Canada is "very aggressive in removing trade barriers" with Asia-Pacific countries. Harper's government also pledged to accelerate the regulatory review process for projects such as pipelines in its latest budget. In addition to these developments, it has been announced that, for the first time in Malaysia, alternative investment executives and professionals will have the opportunity to attend The Speed Traders Workshop 2012 Kuala Lumpur: How High Frequency Traders Leverage Profitable Strategies to Find Alpha in Equities, Options, Futures and FX, April 12, led by Mr. Edgar Perez, author, The Speed Traders, and former McKinsey & Co. consultant.

The shadow people of the investing world, today’s high-frequency traders have decidedly kept a low profile, until now. The Speed Traders Workshop 2012 Kuala Lumpur opens the door to the secretive world of high-frequency trading, the most controversial form of investing today; in the name of protecting the algorithms they have spent so much time perfecting, speed traders disclose as little as possible about how they operate. The Speed Traders Workshop 2012 Kuala Lumpur will reveal how high-frequency trading players are succeeding in the global markets and driving the development of algorithmic trading at breakneck speeds from the U.S. and Europe to India, Singapore and Brazil.
