Investment Strategy in Today’s World – Understanding the Macro and Micro Issues in Order to Protect Your Future (FM)

Posted on December 15, 2017 by December 20, 2017

Investment Strategy in Today’s World – Understanding the Macro and Micro Issues in Order to Protect Your Future (FM)

Friday @ 3:30pm

This session will provide an economic update and overview of the macro investment environment including what is noise and what is substantive. It will discuss cognitive biases for investment decision making relevant to organizations and retirement plan participants in respect to the environment and specific strategies. The objective is to help organizations maximize the leverage of their general and fiduciary investments, and retirement funds.

Learning Objectives:

  • Define investment macro economic ideas/principles and biases
  • Explain behavioral finance through examples of investment behavior
  • Assess the advantages and purpose of specific strategies to achieve objectives
  • Discern how a plan sponsor could potentially better incentivize participants to maximize their contributions without paying more
