Our Mission
What Is The Problem?
We can no longer rely upon traditional investments such as endowment policies, managed funds and pension schemes to provide us with the financial security that is essential for our future. Due to hefty management fees and poor investment performance, many of the large investment companies produce paltry returns and often underperform the market.
What Can You Do About It?
Take control of your own financial future by making your own investment decisions. Come along and be part of the Traders and Investors Club where you will receive the education, encouragement, mentoring and support that will enable you to gain the knowledge and confidence to do just that. Even if you have decided to allow your money to be managed by a third party, you will learn to monitor how well your capital is working and ensure that you are getting the best return.
Each evening, speakers from within and outside of the financial services industry will introduce you to topics such as:
- Technical Analysis and chart reading - how to identify the waxing and waning of fear and greed
