Event Description

INVESTMENT BASICS (Part of the Financial Wellness Series; formerly Investing 101 & 102). This two-part program course will meet on consecutive Wednesdays, April 24 and May 1, 10:00 am-12:00 pm (an encore of the March 28/April 4 workshop)

Jorgen Vik, Certified Financial Planner professional and Partner with SKV Group, will help participants learn basic vocabulary related to investing and investment growth opportunities like mutual funds, IRAs, and the stock market. Participants will also be introduced to fundamental investment principles, like compound interest and diversification, and will examine the benefits and risks associated with various basic investment concepts. The hope is that greater awareness of the economy and the financial market's effect on investments will help participants take positive steps towards understanding how their investments may support their goals and wishes.
