PEER ENGAGEMENT
Two-Part Event: Mindfulness and Healthy Career Development AND Commodities: Boom or Bust with CAIA Members
|
|
|
How have you implemented the themes of the 5th October program on Mindfulness and Healthy Career Development?
Whether or not you attended that event, 100WF and NextGen members can tap into ideas and contacts for mentoring, coaching, networking and professional development for mindfulness and advancement. This interactive presentation will be followed by a discussion on commodities with CAIA members.
Institutional investment in commodity futures increased substantially for many years, until recently. Commodities have long represented a potential hedge against increasing inflation, as well as low correlation to stock and bond markets. Now, increased asset flows have led commodities to become more of a financial asset, which has increased the correlation of commodity returns to those financial markets. Ultimately, commodity prices are set by supply and demand, which differs over the course of the business cycle.
Learn more about the intricacies of this asset class as Dr. Keith Black discusses the Commodities: Boom or Bust? The Case of a Strategic Allocation. Bring your questions so you can determine the ways commodities might fit into your or your clients' portfolios.
After the discussion, there will be a networking cocktail, an excellent opportunity for professionals to meet and network with senior practitioners in the industry. 100WF and NextGen members may speak with CAIA members to learn more about the CAIA certification process.
