10:05am - Future Bricks - Making UK’s property development investments hassle free
Speaker: Ellie Gabr, FutureBricks
Some of the world’s most successful investment managers follow a very simple formula – a formula that is applied with consistency, and diligence, and which helps them create wealth and improve performance. Would you like to emulate these managers? Treating your own portfolio to a similarly disciplined approach could help you make better decisions, avoiding common pitfalls and building a more resilient, more profitable portfolio. Are you carrying any deadwood stocks in your portfolio? Is your portfolio diversified to guard against unseen market shocks? Have you considered your appetite for risk and how it applies to your stock selection techniques? Are you actively managing your own portfolio to ensure best performance? During this workshop, your tutor will take you through some of the most tried and tested routes to running, and growing, a successful portfolio. From basic stock selection techniques, using popular ratios and measurements, to considering how best to diversify and spread risk. You will learn how to actively monitor performance, tracking your success as you build a solid portfolio for the future.
