The Asia Mining Club invites you to a dinner with Johan van Jaarsveld, Portfolio Strategy and Development Officer at BHP Billiton.
In a capital intensive industry such as mining, capital allocation is arguably one of the most critical decisions in generating superior long term returns. The mining industry has been criticised for poor capital allocation decisions that have led to poor investor returns and value destruction. However, leading global miners such as BHP have made considerable improvements in capital allocation by heeding the lessons learned from the last cycle and improving governance as they examine balancing long term risks and return. Come hear Mr. van Jaarsveld discuss how BHP is improving capital allocation decisions and how it is leading to better returns.
