Join us at the University of Virginia Investing Conference (UVIC) for an in-depth discussion of investments and asset management.
A semi-annual event, the UVIC brings together professional investors with scholars, students and the investing public for a discussion of the trends and developments that are integral to the field. During the conference, we honor the best investment practitioners, while sharing and analyzing the best investment practices.
At the Investing Conference held on November 10 and 11 of this year, discussion centered on the relationship between political change and the investing climate. The conference featured panels and speakers, as well as interviews with George Tenet, Managing Director at Allen & Company and former Director of the CIA, and Liaquat Ahamed, author of Lords of Finance: The Bankers Who Broke the World. Speakers and panel participants explored a variety of topics, including:
-The instruments and manifestations of government influence on the investment climate, and the behavioral foundations that motivate this influence.
- How political change in major economies affects classic approaches to investing, as well as short, medium and long-term asset returns
- The recommended investment strategies given current and projected trends of political change
Conference highlights included the panels “Macro Economy: Fiscal and Monetary Environment” and Investing in this Environment,” both moderated by Tom Keene, as well as lectures delivered by Vince Reinhart, Paul Singer, Steve Galbraith, Peter Fisher and Kyle Bass.
The University of Virginia Conference is hosted by the Darden School of Business in the fall and held at the Abbott Center Auditorium, while the McIntire School of Commerce hosts the UVIC in the spring. The University of Virginia Investment Management Company (UVIMCO), in conjunction with the CFA Institute and several other organizations, plans and organizes the conference.
Debt relief is the partial or total forgiveness of debt, or the slowing or stopping of debt growth, owed by individuals, corporations, or nations. Traditionally, from antiquity through the 19th century, it refers to domestic debts, particularly agricultural debts and freeing of debt slaves. In the late 20th century it came to refer primarily to Third World debt, which started exploding with the Latin American debt crisis (Mexico 1982, etc.). In the early 21st century, it is of increased applicability to individuals in developed countries, due to credit bubbles and housing bubbles. Debt relief services are financial solution that is worth checking out.Real Estate Investment
