In one month and two days, it is time for Personal Finance Symposium IV. This year’s lineup of speakers is expected to be interesting for both consumers and financial planning practitioners. Following a welcome from MIZZOU, we will begin the program with a longtime friend of the department, John Qualy, to share his perspectives on our role in creating financial success both for ourselves and the broader economy. Following John, Matt Chiccuarelli is traveling from the Boston area to teach us more about the role of annuities as a tool in managing our longevity risk – the risk of living longer than our money.
After lunch (one reason why we have to charge to attend), we will open with Margie Carpenter, who I heard speak at the Financial Planners Association meeting in San Diego. Her research is focused on emerging market equity investing (investing in rapidly developing countries). The historical approach she employs in visualizing the world we are witnessing take shape is enlightening. Thus, she is coming from Cleveland to share it with our Missouri friends. Finally, a prior faculty member of our department and acclaimed teacher, Craig Israelsen, is traveling from Provo, UT to share his published work on investment portfolio diversification – so easy you can do it yourself (or, do it for your clients).
We have to rent space in the Alumni Center, print advertisements and programs, pay for lunch, as well as the transportation of our speakers. Thus, there is a cost: $10 for students, $30 for the non-student public, or $50 which includes payment for four hours of continuing education credits for Certified Financial Planners®. To be honest, the department loses money on the symposium but our return is in knowing we are bringing this program to you, as a resource for your financial and professional well-being.
