If your nearest chapter is inactive, or unable to hold meetings, or unacquainted with the charms of Zoom webinars, we want to give you a taste of the chapters "good life", and welcome you into a new world of content, camaraderie and connection.
Since most AAII chapters take a break during the summer, the New York City chapter decided to throw one last blowout "party" before the Summer hiatus, like Fat Tuesday before Lent. Except this is Fat Wednesday online. WEBINARDIGRAS!
We’ve lined up a trio of our most popular speakers for cameo presentations on their hottest topics:
· Craig Israelsen, Ph.D., Executive-in-Residence, Personal Financial Planning Program, Woodbury School of Business , Utah Valley University
Topic: Can A Retirement Portfolio Really Last 25+ Years?
Description: Short answer—yes! There are two key factors in having a durable retirement portfolio: (1) Patience. Stay with your chosen asset allocation model. Don’t bail out when volatility rears is ugly (but expected) head. (2) Use a percentage-based withdrawal method—not a “hard dollar” method. Craig will show you the historical behavior of retirement portfolios over every rolling 25-year period since 1926.
· Elisabeth Kashner, CFA, director of Global Funds Research at institutional powerhouse FactSet, renown for her expertise in the ETF arena
Topic: The Penny-Pincher's Guide to ETF Success
Description: Relying on rules of thumb for choosing an ETF is probably costing you money. Too many investors look at the name, expense ratio, and asset size, and think they're covered. If only! Learn how to assess an ETF's costs, liquidity, and economic exposure, and how to balance these according to your needs.
- Keith Fitz-Gerald, acclaimed researcher, analyst and trader who frequently appears on Fox Business News, Bloomberg and CNBC and other prestigious media outlets
Topic : The Best Really IS Yet to Come!
Description: We live at one of the most challenging times in modern financial history and it's easy to think that the end of the financial universe is upon us. In fact, the opposite is far more likely to be true. Keith will share his thoughts on why the best really is ahead, which companies and sectors will benefit most and how savvy investors that play ahead will come out the winners.
We hope this will inspire you to join one or more chapter Communities and consider volunteering for your current chapter. (Your AAII membership permits you to join any of our 32 geographic and 11 topical SIGs.)
With the rollout of livestreaming (hybrid in-person/online meetings, the sky's the limit. Chapters are no longer silos acting alone, but hubs acting in concert to maximize the resources that AAII offers. You can take part from a distance or dig in locally.
You won't be seeing any shiny metal beads, just lots of pearls of wisdom. Welcome to Webinardigras!
