Learn from history and know what's coming

CFA Institute is offering another great webinar to offer knowledge and understanding on the current situation. The webinar titled “Financial History’s Lessons for Present-Day Investors” is airing 6th of May 2020 at 7 pm Finnish time.

The IMF expects the coronavirus pandemic to bring the worst global economic contraction since the Great Depression of the 1930s. Such extreme market movements should prompt investors to study past crises for lessons that apply to the present day.

Elroy Dimson, renowned financial historian and author of Financial Market History: Reflections on the Past for Investors Today, will put the current market volatility into a historical context in this online, interactive event. Participants will consider past setbacks and hear Professor Dimson’s inferences on what investors might anticipate for the future.
