March Lunch Meeting

Tuesday, March 10, 2020

Norris Conference Center

2525 West Anderson Lane

Lunch meeting 11:30 am - 1:00 pm

Speaker: Kevin T. Carter, Founder and CIO of EMQQ

Topic: The Future of Consumption: Emerging Markets and the Digital Revolution

With the internet becoming increasingly affordable and accessible, billions of people in the developing world are now leapfrogging traditional consumption patterns and starting to consume online for the first time. The result of this rising middle-class consumer wave has transformed economies and produced new internet giants equal to or even larger than their U.S. counterparts. Kevin will delve into the greater influence of this new consumer wave and the fundamental changes taking place in developing economies, their preference for online shopping via the smartphone and ways for investors to gain targeted exposure to the rapidly expanding sector.

A Message from Gold Partner The Fleming & Conway Agency

February is the month to show that special person in our life how much we cherish by buying them a beautiful piece of jewelry. To further show that loved one how much you care, your next step should be scheduling that item. Jewelry replacement is typically limited in terms theft on a homeowners policy. If you schedule the jewelry, you are covered for theft at full replacement cost AND any mysterious disappearance. This included the item falls off when wearing, falls out of the setting, is lost, is accidentally thrown away etc. Recently, we had a client who looked down at her hand to see the diamond was missing from her ring! She said it felt like a “punch in the gut.” She was thrilled to find out that the stone would be covered! Make sure your jewelry is covered. Call us at 512-345-0005 to review your insurance needs today!
