The Great Global Reboot - Part 1 : the recovery from Covid, its impact on the economy, markets and investments.

This presentation will look at the implications of the global recovery phase for investors across the different asset classes (mainstream and alternatives), and the opportunities and the risks for markets and the economy.

We will also look at how Ireland has been impacted by COVID and the implications for the investment and funds industry.

This is a promotional event for the Professional Diploma in Applied Alternative Investments. The Professional Diploma in Applied Alternative Investments provides an opportunity for professionals working in international financial services to develop their expertise in the growing alternative assets market.

Increasingly, alternative assets which includes hedge funds, commodities, private equity, structured products and real asset investments such as infrastructure investments are becoming mainstream investments which are predicted to grow in allocations globally.

The international investment fund industry faces the challenge of upskilling to meet this wave of new investment structures. Given the breadth of alternative assets the programme will appeal to professionals working in international financial services who want to develop expertise in alternative investments.

It is critical for long term success that those who work in the industry understand how the move to alternatives demands a broader understanding of the investment landscape and the choice of asset type available to investors.

The event will be held over Zoom. Please ensure you have access to Zoom in advance of the event taking place. Zoom is available on all PCs, laptops, tablets and Apple or Android devices. The link to join the event will be emailed to registered members on the day of the event.
