CFA Society NZ is holding its second Investment Conference; a full-day forum on Alternative Finance and Alternative Investments.
The inaugural conference in 2017 on ‘disruptive innovation in financial services’ touched on alternative finance. With a market that continues to experience rapid change, the 2019 conference will look at the global lending trends in AltFi.
This side of the agenda will take a closer look at the four categories defined by the CFA Research Foundation; hedge funds, private equity, real assets, structured products. There will be opportunities for attendees to break-out and network.
