Description

In this session, Shahar Ziv, a financial wellness educator, writer, and speaker, will make investing feel less "panic sell" and more "long-term strategy," hosted by Student Financial Support.

Here's what you'll learn:

  • Understanding market volatility, trends, and the impact of inflation
  • Active vs. passive investing and which strategy fits your goals
  • Exploring alternative investments like real estate investment trusts (aka REITs) and crypto (with caution)
  • Setting short-term vs. long-term goals and avoiding common mistakes
  • How to construct and rebalance a portfolio
  • The tax side of investing—what you need to know before you buy

Three students who attend the session will win a copy of The Bogleheads' Guide to Investing by Mel Lindauer, Taylor Larimore, and Michael LeBoeuf.

Students who attend at least six financial wellness webinars during this school year will be entered to win a pair of Beats Studio Pro Bluetooth noise-canceling headphones.
