, part of the worldwide network of CFA Institute member societies, has announced the agenda and speaker line-up for its inaugural annual investment virtual conference to take place on November 5 2020.
“The Covid-19 pandemic and global lockdown has been devastating in so many ways, but it has also presented us with unprecedented opportunities such as access to global speakers not necessarily available in person, virtual conference participation without the requirement for travel to a specific physical location, and demonstrable member value far above the monetary cost of membership of CFA Society South Africa.
“This year’s line-up includes leading thought leaders in the global investment industry, from academia to practitioners. Our aim was to internationalise the event from both a speaker and audience perspective, by focusing more on emerging markets and Africa as a whole, rather than just SA. Given the international make-up of the speakers and attendees, I think this conference will be a milestone event for the society,” saysPicture: SUPPLIED/CFA SOCIETY SOUTH AFRICA.
Moreover, a number of headwinds are making a bad situation worse. Technology and the risk of a jobless underclass; weakening demographics — in terms of the quantity of the population and the quality of the workforce; worsening income inequality; scarcity of natural resources and climate change concerns; unsustainable debts and declining productivity. Moyo outlines five things that will define the post-pandemic world economy.
