Learn the basics of investing and financial planning in an open and interactive environment.

• Understanding Risk/ Return/ Time horizon of investments
• Key Investment Risks
• Overview of Major Investment Types: Equities, Bonds & Property
• Market Timing vs. Value Investing
• Questions to Ask When Assessing New Investment Opportunities
• Basics of Diversification
• Basics of Building an investment plan

The initial talk is followed by three workshops (“Money Clubs”) in which participants gain practical knowledge about how to set financial goals and build a financial plan to meet them. Classroom discussions are supplemented with take-home exercises which make use of online resources and research to build practical knowledge.

This course is aimed at women who would like to make better returns on their savings or who have been unable to save and want better tools to make financial plans for the future. We aim to demystify investing without understating the risks and complexity of investment choices.

Many people lack the confidence or motivation to get their finances in order. This course aims to get participants comfortable with financial literacy and confident about pursuing the investments best suited for their lifestyles and retirement plans.

Participants will leave the course with a better understanding of the different investment types and which ones make most sense for them given their risk aversion, their interest in being an active or passive investor as well as present market conditions.
