| 8:35 am | THE FUTURE OF BANKING & OUTLOOK FOR THE YEAR AHEAD With the inauguration less than a week away, investors are repositioning for President Barack Obama’s second term in office and related fall-out beyond the fiscal cliff. Congress passed an eleventh-hour bill averting spending cuts and tax increases that threatened to push the world’s largest economy into a recession. At the same time, a rebound in housing and stabilization in global growth set the stage for 2013. What will the New Year bring? How are investors positioning themselves for the next four years?

VIDEO David McCormick, Co-President, Bridgewater Associates L.P.; Former Under-Secretary for International Affairs, U.S. Department of the Treasury Interviewed by: Stephanie Ruhle, Co-Host, “Market Makers”, Bloomberg Television |
| 9:30 am | THE U.S. MARKET REPORT: PREDICTIONS & MAJOR THEMES Stocks hit a 12-year low following the credit crisis four years ago and have been steadily climbing back towards their October 2007 record highs.

Will the Dow Jones Industrial Average surpass its October 2007 high of 14,164.53? Is the S&P 500 on track for a record year? What are the fundamentals that will drive the bull market that began in March 2009? What sectors will outperform and underperform? What are the existing drags on the market?

Financial-market tensions have abated after the European Central Bank unveiled its Outright Monetary Transactions bond-buying plan on Sept. 6, pledging to spend as much money as needed to restore confidence in bond markets. The program provides support to debt-strapped nations as long as they sign up to economic reforms. How will the European story play out in 2013?

| 12:05 pm | A WORD FROM THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF ATLANTA The Fed has kept its benchmark interest rate near zero since 2008. The central bank eased policy this month by saying the rate would stay low “at least as long” as unemployment remains above 6.5 percent and inflation projections are for no more than 2.5 percent. The Fed expanded its quantitative easing program by adding $45 billion of Treasury security purchases each month to the $40 billion of monthly government-backed mortgage bond buying it began in September. The Fed’s steps aim to keep rates low to spur an even bigger recovery in housing. What is the expectation of further asset purchases? What are the concerns about growth and inflation? What is the outlook for interest rates? What is the outlook for unemployment to fall below 6.5 percent? How can monetary policy help spur job growth? What is the legacy of the fiscal cliff for policy makers? VIDEO Dennis P. Lockhart, President and CEO, Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta Interviewed by: Matthew Winkler, Editor-in-Chief, Bloomberg News |

| 2:15 pm | THE GLOBAL DEBT CHALLENGE: WHAT CLASS WILL OUTPERFORM? Government securities in 26 markets tracked by Bloomberg and the European Federation of Financial Analysts Societies generated positive returns last year for the first time since the 2008 financial crisis. The world’s leading economies are cutting supply after every major government bond market rallied for the first time since 2008. The amount of bills, notes and bonds coming due for the Group of Seven nations plus Brazil, Russia, India and China will drop to $7.38 trillion from $7.60 trillion in 2012, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Japan, the U.K., Germany, France, Italy and Brazil will see a decline, while the U.S., Canada, Russia, India and China will face an increase. While high debt loads are blamed for curbing global economic growth, bond investors are encouraged by signs that some nations are starting to rein in spending as they extend the average maturity of their obligations. What is the outlook for the sovereign debt market? Which bonds will outperform? What is the outlook for corporate bond and high yield bonds? What fixed income strategies are investors putting to work in 2013? VIDEO Speakers: Mark L. Attanasio, Managing Partner and Co-Founder, Crescent Capital Group Thomas W.
