The future of wealth: megatrends, GameStop and investor education

The recent GameStop frenzy presents a good example of the impact of democratising finance and underlines the importance of being able to distinguish between short-term fads and long-term megatrends. As the number of investment platforms connecting retail investors to financial markets proliferates, the amazonification of financial markets - and in turn, the disintermediation of the industry - is progressing at an unprecedented rate. The same cannot be said for investor education. In this new era, financial advisors need to redefine the value of their service, positioning themselves as educators and experts in identifying long-term, lucrative investment opportunities. Which is why, in the final episode of BrightTALK’s Thematic Investing series, we’re inviting leaders from across the global financial sector to explore the top megatrends for the future and share their insight on how to successfully integrate them into your long-term strategy. Join this webinar to explore: - The top megatrends for the future and how to integrate them into your investment strategy; - Hype vs. trend - how to avoid getting caught up in fads - Do AI and data hold the keys to portfolio optimisation? Speakers: - Kerim Derhalli, Founder and CEO, Invstr - Michael Kamerman, CEO, Skilling
