The event

Date: 12th January, 8AM -10AM
Location: Comis Hotel and Golf Resort, Mount Murray Road, Santon, Isle of Man, IM4 2HT.

2020 was a challenging time for many, but what can we take from it to make sure 2021 is a stand-out year financially?
‍
In a highly volatile market, no one can predict the future, but with resilience, a well thought- through recovery strategy and a good understanding of market behaviour, we can learn from the past to target a prosperous 2021.
‍
Join us for our first event of 2021 with guest speakers including former MP, The Right Honourable Mark Field; Group CEO, Greg Ellison; and Chief Investment Officer, David Long. This is a rare opportunity to gain access to our investment specialists and hear their 2021 outlook as you begin to shape your strategies for the year ahead.
‍
Why not bring your colleagues along too? Pass on the invite so they don't miss their chance to register. To kick start the year, we will also provide you with a 1.5 hour CPD certificate for attending the seminar.
