GET OUT OF THE COMFORT ZONE! Conference on November 24, 2015 Steigenberger Frankfurter Hof, Frankfurt am Main

GET OUT OF THE COMFORT ZONE! Private investors observe the developments at the stock exchanges mostly from a distance. And since it is no longer possible to earn money blindly with interestbearing securities, investors leave their assets in many cases in low-yield savings deposits. It is, therefore, necessary to draw the savers out of their comfort zone with innovative investment strategies and product solutions. The Fund Experts Forum has offered since 2013 an exclusive platform for decisionmakers from the fields of asset management and portfolio management for an exchange about current developments on the markets and their impact on investment consulting and asset management.
