MeDirect Bank is organising its eleventh webinar in this successful series of medirectalks. Taking place on Thursday 16th December, the upcoming medirectalk will be discussing Thematic Funds. This event will take place online and it’s free of charge.
MeDirect will be working with BlackRock this time round. BlackRock is an American multinational investment management corporation based in New York. Founded in 1988, initially as a risk management and fixed income institutional asset manager, BlackRock is the world’s largest asset manager.
The main guest speaker will be AJ Ziegler, from BlackRock, who is the Vice President and leading Product Strategist within the Active Equities Group at BlackRock representing Global, Sector and Thematic equity strategies. Prior to this role, Mr Ziegler was a product strategist for the Fundamental Active Equity division of BlackRock’s Alpha Strategies Group based in the United States, providing a link between the US-based investment teams and client manager.
The main theme of this talk is Thematic Funds. We will be discussing the difference, if any, between thematic and sectoral investments. Thematic investing allows investors to pursue market exposure to specific ideas. AJ Ziegler will be focusing mainly on Technology Funds and Health Care. What are the common features of the funds that have these particular themes in their investment objectives? And when should thematic funds be included in portfolios?
This webinar will be held through WebEx and one will be required to input their email address and accept a disclaimer to join the event on the 16th of December at 18:00. Further information, can be found here: https://medirect.com.mt/invest/medirectalk
