AFL Investments helps you protect your assets

Trying to get the most bang for your buck in a low interest environment may seem futile, but AFL Investments is trying to help.

The company announced it is hosting a free ‘Maximising Returns in a Low Yield Environment’ hour-long seminar as part of its Lunch & Learn series. This seminar will be held on Wednesday, March 20, at 12:15pm in the Argus Training Centre.

The seminar will explore recommended strategies and approaches for investing in the current economy. It will cover why cash in your portfolio could be a bad thing at this present time, how to protect your assets against inflation and deflation, as well as how to identify other potential risk areas to monitor.

The session will be presented by Bill McKay, CFA, Lead Portfolio Manager to AFL Investments and the Cidel Financial Group in Toronto, Canada.

Carla Seely, senior wealth manager, AFL Investments, said in a press release: “In recent months with Governments around the world keeping interest rates low, there has been a lot of local investor anxiety about the right actions to be taken for the best possible return. The economy certainly remains challenging, but not impossible, and having good information is critical at this time.

“Mr. McKay is an excellent speaker and we wanted to take the opportunity, while he was in Bermuda, to offer his expert perspective to help inform the decisions of local investors. Attendees should leave the seminar feeling much more confident about options available to them to further enhance their investment portfolio within this low yield environment.”
