This webinar series is intended for the investor who wants to reduce “unknown unknowns” of investing.
First, a refresher on asset allocation and portfolio theory, i.e., how to array your investments to produce reliable returns over time and temper potential losses.
Then two episodes on the “why?” of investing – the goals one pursues, such as financing family events, retirement, and the fate of your assets when you meet your Maker or Makers or fade to black or whatever. Tax and legal and investment professionals have their uses, but you get more from them when you know what questions to ask and what information to insist on receiving.
The final two episodes turn topical, taking up special topics, including options and private securities (as well as public securities).
As with every Financial Poise Webinar, each episode is delivered in Plain English understandable to investors, business owners, and executives without much background in these areas, yet is also valuable to attorneys, accountants, and other seasoned professionals. And, as with every Financial Poise Webinar, each episode brings you into engaging, sometimes humorous, conversations designed to entertain as it teaches. Each episode in the series is designed to be viewed independently of the other episodes, so that participants will enhance their knowledge of this area whether they attend one, some, or all episodes.
