This event is designed to help participants in the funds industry understand the main recent impacts to the financial markets and how well positioned the Irish economy is?
After an exceptionally strong stock market performance since October 2023, driven by the falling interest rate outlook and an AI euphoria, how will the upcoming US Election, continued geopolitical uncertainty, and the inflation battle impact the main financial markets for the remainder of 2024? How well positioned is the Irish economy facing into the ever-changing global backdrop and a falling rate cycle?
It will also introduce core topics covered on the IOB curriculum including the Professional Certificate in Capital Markets, Investment and Funds, Professional Diploma in Applied Alternative Investments and Complex Financial Instruments programmes. The event will be on interest to Funds Service and Banking professionals, Finance advisors, Asset Managers, Accountants, Lawyers, Compliance Professionals, Fund Professionals & Financial Controlling staff.
